  1. That makes a lot of sense! Thanks so much Steve. I think at 1.6 on those channels, i'll leave it for the time being. I have a few idea on how to adjust the mount to get it more straight up, but will leave that for another day.
  2. 23-30 came in at 1.6 I was a bit confused, as my Tidradio H3 Plus shows channels 23-30 as 462 channels vs 467. So i was basing everything off of that. Thanks!
  3. I think I will have to program my unit then (still learning how to use it) as the only 467 mhz channels that are pre-programmed are 8-14 which the unit will not transmit on. Will do some more research and report back ! Thanks!
  4. Ran some channels SWR, is as follows. Was not able to connect to 467 repeater yet, so I will have to figure out how to do that. Channels: 1 - 1.54 2 - 1.55 3 - 1.55 15 - 1.73 16 - 1.73 17 - 1.73 22- 1.73 23 - 1.6
  5. Hello All! New to GMRS and having a blast learning and getting gear together. I recently did a install on Gen 3 Tacoma and I am getting a SWR of 1.75. Below is my build. Looking for some suggestions on how to get the SWR a bit lower, or being what it is, maybe just accept the 1.75 and call it good. Appreciate all suggestions! Equipment Utilized: Btech GMRS50-Pro - https://baofengtech.com/product/gmrs-50pro/ Midland MXTA24 NMO - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842B1WFS MIdland MXTA26 Antenna - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084BPXNC5 Ditch Light Bracket - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG7P4DWY With a 3/8" Stainless Steel washer for fitment. Surcom Sw-102S - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7QPXEY NMO Mount to Ditch bracket. Recognize the antenna is not perfectly straight up and is at an angle, I'll try to figure out how to get this mount more straight up, but the way my ditch light bracket is, this may not be easily achievable. I then ran it across the engine bay and then into the cabin through a gromet. Both the power and NMO cable were tucked under panels. I then created a mount for the BTECH GMRS50-PRO and connected everything behind the drivers side backseat storage. Current readings on meter. Once BTECH releases their Mic extension, i will run the mic extension wire from the back panel to the front drivers seat, so i can control the whole radio via the BTECH mic remote. Thanks!
