    What you need is a FireStik NGP Kit...
    Google it, there's several stores that carry them. There are 3-4 different kits available that offer mounting options.

    Hope this helps

This is what it seems to b and i need to know if anyone has any expertise in this area.

    what is wrong with a 1.5 vswr ? the difference between 1.1 and 1.5 is not detectable by human ears . but you obviously are not interested in getting peak performance due to your choice of a lil wil and a FG stick . yes they work and can do what some folks want .... but they are not the equal of many better antennas out there .

    you're trying to put lipstick on a pig .....

    To the gentleman who responded speaking down on my equipment choices and to the difference of audio quality between 1.1 and 1.5, the issue is that more reflected power back to my radio is not a situation that I favor. Compounding that opinion is the fact that when you introduce power to the situation, the swr becomes a much greater concern. My hope in posting the thread was that I would encounter someone who had conquered this dilemma, not someone posting a graphic that I am attempting to put lips on a pig! Once again I implore our cb online community to post any USEFUL information concerning this issue, as I am sure in this era of fuel efficiency, this type of of problem will manifest itself in someone else's radio. In that vein of thought, I have been told that using a co- phased system relieves the ground plane from being critical. I am looking for a co phase harness and will report my findings as the experiment continues. 73's all, your Friendly Neighborhood Ghost.

    I have the Lil Wilson on my wife's van, with a Galaxy 959 that's had a tune up...

    15 miles simplex, and has made DX coast to coast... It's not about power, it's about having it set up right...

    When you find an answer to your dilemma post it, knowledge and truth out weight stupidity.
