  1. I will do that this afternoon. The primary reason I also bought the ghost antenna was to have a lower profile option to keep in the glove box. I'll try that with both. I've got an SWR meter on the way too. I see why people get hooked on this stuff. You can get carried away tinkering if you don't remind yourself that the goal is to just have a properly functioning radio.
  2. I just finished my install of my new mobile GMRS setup. It's a BTECH GMRS-50V2 and using a Midland mxta26 antenna. I also picked up a Midland ghost antenna, but haven't tried it yet. The antenna is installed on the highest part of the truck, which is the ladder rack. The rack is steel, and is above the cab, which is also steel. I'm assuming that the antenna is too high above the cab to use the sheets metal as a ground plane, is that correct? I have attached pictures. The truck obviously needs to be washed. That will happen once we're done cleaning up after Helene.
