[I bent my coax . . .]

Just an update.

I bought a Surecom SW102-G meter.  With the antenna (Nagoya 72G) at center-back on my trunk lid, my SWR was 1.3.

Ok, I now know what to do.  Thanks y’all!

BoxCar, there’s so much to learn.  That’s why I’m enjoying this so much. Thanks.

Thanks Steve.  Is there a way to know for sure?

[I bent my coax . . .]

Yesterday, I installed my Wouxun KG1000 G Plus.  Went for a several hour drive today and was disappointed with my range at high power, 50w rated ( no different than my previous 15w radio).  When I got home I was reviewing my install and found that the radio had moved and caused a 90° bend in antenna coax.  Did this permanently damage the coax?  The coax is new. 
 

Thank You!

[Magnetic Mount: 2 Questions]

Im running a Midland MXT275 in my Miata.  The car is wrapped.  
1) Will the wrap hinder performance of a magnetic mount antenna, specifically Nagoya 72G?
2) Can I place the mag mount on the corner of the trunk instead of center, without much loss of performance?

Thanks!
