I have a Predator 10k antenna mounted (Breedlove mount) to the front bed rail of my Ford F250 pickup. Cannot get it tuned below the red; always above 3, on all channels. Continuity tests are ok. Using Galaxy 959 radio, tuned.
Any recommendations? How can I be certain the antenna mount is grounded? I believe the coax is ok. I have tested with another coax, even another radio and have same problem.
Thanks for any help or ideas.

some times the length of the coax can have a effect on the s.w.r try adding on a little more coax to see how it reads good luck with it philip
