Today, if I don't get called into work, I plan to cut the wire next to
the antenna mount and install an SO-239 so I can wire the tuner
directly to the antenna or connect the coax to run to the front of the
van where I have the radio mounted.


SGC recommends that no transmission line be used between the
tuner and the antenna because of arcing. Consider that to
force just one watt into a CB whip on 4 MHz, EZNEC says it
takes over 1700 volts.



Interesting. Thanks.

I am still testing. I tested with coax and the result is that the
antennas designed for a given frequency work much better on their
frequencies. I am looking for my soldering kit now for the
connectors.

I may try a direct connection to see what happens without coax if I
can.

back in a few.
