running a Uniden 980 on a Sterling Dump truck. Antenna is mounted on a mirror bracket. SWR is high. Real question is Is there enough metal for the antenna as the door is fiberglass? Would we need to run a ground from the mirror mount bolts to the truck frame ? This is my sons truck and I have never dealt with fiberglass doors or panels on any vehicle. When I put the antenna on it read 1.7 on a MFJ Antenna meter. Antenna is a Tram, don't remember model number(BR28???). I know those internal swr meters aren't all that good.
any help is welcome.
