Hey Tom -
How does it mount? I have 3 pad and 4 pad magnet mounts. your antenna might be the solution. Chris - K1MAL is letting me borrow a known good Wilson mag mount antenna this week-end to determine if it's a problem with my antenna or something with the vehicle or grounding. Thanks Chris!
And thanks Tom for the offer.
