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.
