Would idling in place for a minute before shut down in that situation be a good practice? Kinda like when you cool a turbo engine down after a hard run.

These are very nice!

I was also thinking of the position overall. On a forward cab a bumper mounted antenna has lots of metal up one side of it. Never did an SWR test on a setup like that so wondering how that would affect it. Funny I was getting the opposite impression with how GMRS is being marketed so much lately to ...

Geez you'd think they could make a light switch that lasted more than 45-50 years!

Should work fine....

Curious what you think Ron (and other Hams) of the ground plane issues/SWR of the bumper mounting. Any Australian guys here that use the bumper mount that's popular there?

Saw these new antennas for "rugged use". That look pretty cool to me and it comes at a good time since I started looking for one recently! https://midlandusa.com/pages/ride-the-range?utm_campaign=Ride-the-Range-Launch-Email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=attentive&externalId=VTURT...

Very nice hardware additions! Looks great

Thanks for the comments!
