more cfm @ 90psi than the puma @ 0psi

(another member asked if i was still looking for oba stuff. so i went ahead and bought it)

Nice, now I have to mount mine and tune it. I read that the ground plane from the bumper is not as good as the body, 4crawler explained this on his site. I want to mount mine to the bumper.

Have you tuned it yet? Do you have to cut it to tune it?

no, it's got a tune-able tip. i had to take it out to get a good swr (1,20,40 all below 1.5)

i'm going to play with grounding to see if i can't get it better

I had to take mine out too. Also try with and without that little grounding wire attached. Mine is not attached.

I was going to run another ground to the body. I guess it's easier to pull the ground first.
