So what did you do to your Disco today?

I'm pretty sure but not positive and don't mean to spark a debate about Antenna Theory and propagation etc... leave that the other radio guys and HAMs ;-), just don't want you to go through the trouble of routing front to back and have poor performance or a damaged rig (cb).
Hope this help and happy trails! Tom

Hi James, Double Check me on this but as I recall the length of the coax is an integral component of the antenna. Meaning, it provides a necessary resistance to the radio. It can impede performance as well as harm the "outputs" on the radio. I believe the right length is 16' or 18'. The pre-packaged mounts come with the coax to length and recommend only cutting it as a last resort to get SWR in check...

I'm going to mount the antenna on my spare tire carrier...how did you guys get the cable through the door without cutting the cable? I'd rather not have a 1" hole in the back of the door.

I keep reading that the coax is in increments of 3'. Either way I'm going to go ahead and order 18' just to be sure I have enough cable. My buddy has a SWR meter, so we will be able to properly adjust it.

Or you can just run it out between the cargo door and body and the weather seal should keep it sealed and not damage the coax.
