if i were you i'd get someone to test it with a meter before you use it. if you install the antenna and radio and use it without having the match tested you can fry your radio. when i installed mine i tested it with the 4ft firestik and the match was over the maximum limit. i put on my 9ft steel antenna and the match was better, not great but useable. even using a mag mount i would still test it. just because it works for one guy doesn't mean it'll work for another guy.

Did you mount your antenna on the back of your jeep? Do you mount it to the black plastic piece that is beside the tail light(part of the hinge i guess)?

Islander

No. I don't have plastic hinges. My hinges are metal. However I didn't mount it to the hinge or tail light. the YJ's have a metal bracket used as a stop for the tail gate.



I will be moving mine in the next couple of days to see if the match is any better

noneheavier

Guess I lucked out.

Islander

have you had the match checked since you installed? I would imagine that you are probably border line. But you might be in the 5% that get lucky the first time and have a less than 1.5:1 match.

I'm sure you can find a mounting bracket for it online. Google "Jeep JK antenna mounting bracket", bet you'll find something your looking for with a little research.

I'll check it out when I can find a the meter to use for free.

Islander

go buy a meter and then charge everyone $10 to check their junk. you'll pay for the meter in no time
