Antennas are 4' Firestiks II

swr ~ 3

swr - 3? you got problems and dual antenna's suck. Try using
just one of them.

I had this same setup on another truck of the same year and model without
any whine. That setup also had a fairly high swr but zero whine.

Are you suggesting that because I have high swr that this is somehow
allowing this whine to be picked up by the antennas? .. or maybe causing the
whine? What is actually causing the whine?

I'm suggesting perhaps your transmitting off just your coax, with your
swr being 3. Start with your antenna problems, then fix the whine.
