gotta remember that i just read alot- then i try things.
certainly doesn't mean i know what i'm doing.......
sometimes the things i try work out somehow.
here's that meter i used. since i was just zip-tieing the radio to the dash, i stuck it on there too- just for kicks.

by the way- you are welcome to use it.
the antenna mount was going to be a temporary thing, but it seems happy and will do 'till i don't know when.

cutting the whip was a little concerning, but i figured the meter wasn't lying and i could always get another whip if i screwed up and cut too much(the 1st inch didn't do much, so i just whacked off a big hunk to get closer to the chart specs.). now i'm thinking of mabe trimming a little more- we'll see.

i mounted the antenna on the same side as my cb 'tenna so i can keep an eye on it, and find that it brushes brush real well- should be better now since it's shorter...
let's roll soon.
