Another NOOB

[FATKAT]

Radio arrived this morning and it is in the truck. I have not been able to get a radio check today so far.

This stuff with the antennas is getting me riled up. Can't get decent numbers with the Lil Wil or K30 no matter where on the roof they are placed. Would the aluminum bed cap cause a problem? The SWR checking on the radio seems to be worthless and I suppose all the other DIAGNOSTIC functions will be as well. The radio itself is not mounted in metal at this time, could this cause issues?

Oh well, here is a pic.......
