Was trying to set my SWR today. No matter how many adjustments I made I could only get 2.5 on one channel and 3 on another. I know it is supposed to be 2 or less but this is the best I could get. Is a 3 reading a problem?
Are you using the Firering mount made by Firestik?
It grounds to the bandi mount, but you need to bare metal contact at that point, and the bandi mount must have bare metal exposed where it touches the FJ.
Another thing you can do is take where the Firering mounts on the bandi, and run a short groundwire from to somewhere on the FJ.
But idealy it must be very close.
The shorter the ground the better.

I just got my Cobra 75 in the mail today and plan on installing it this weekend if I have time...My question is though for Bill and those who wired the antenna cable like as Bill did underneath the rig...Doing this is there any way it can get pinched up by the suspension or ripped out by rock crawling?? I think the cable is tucked away enough to be out of harms way, but I haven't crawled up under my rig yet to see how it looks....

Naw. It's all inside of the frame. No threats at all...
