i have tried everything and i just cant get my reflect down. 1.6 lowest swr on all antennas i try. im almost fed up already. its driving me nuts and my amps. i have 2 predator 10k antennas 17" shaft and 2 55 r4 antennas as well. they both tune the same, 1.6, i gotta get 1.3 swr or better. my reflect is waaaay to high and im gonna burn up my amps. not good. how did you and the other guys do it at 3kw plus? i have puck mounts, lmr-600 coax, jumpers are 6ft,antenna coax is electrical 1/2 wave (from line section to antenna). 1" ground strap bonded doors, hood, body, frame etc. im out of ideas. also the fact that two different antennas are tuning exactly the same at 1.6 is making me think something else is going on.
i want to concentrate on getting just the one antenna only too tune flat (which is how i drive around), then i will concentrate on tuning the bounceback setup (used when i park shootin skip). Name:  20200517_093910.jpg
