Chosen Solution

you have the wrong type of antenna setup…. you will need 18ft coax cable and antenna mount, with a descent antenna…( approx. 3ft.) fiberglass rod style or a magnetic base mount, ie. wilson “lil wil” or a K30 mag mount…. these both come with pre-installed coax cable. you will need to set the SWR’s on the antenna to a 1:1-1.7 on the meter that you use. the closer you the match, the better… good luck!
