Hey yall, I have a 2020 Nissan Titan XD, with a panoramic moonroof. I am running a ranger rci x9 into sirio performer 5000 on a home made mag mount. I could not get the sirio and the factory mag under 2.6 swr when running any power, I took it a part and made my own, grounded things and now have a 1.13 swr on ch 1 a 1.00 swr on ch 20 and a 1.16 on ch 40. My questions are, is it worth adding a ground plane to try and lower the swr more? I understand a 1.1 to 1.5 on any channel is good, but is it worth trying to make better? Last but not least are there any good quality ground plane kits for an antenna like the sirio 5000? Please keep in mind I'm a newbie, and I'm trying to learn.
