I TRIED TUNING MINE AND CUT TO MUCH OFF THE STINGER AND HAD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. THE BEST THING TO DO IS ADJUST IT UP AND DOWN TILL YOU FIND THAT SPOT.

I have the 22" 10k. I had to cut off a good foot off of the stinger. I did it about 1/4 of an inch at a time. Took me about an hour to get it working at a 1.1.

o yeah ive seen guys spend hours upon hours tuneing there 10k's and ive seen some guys just tos it up there right out of the box and get a flat match.. p10k's are wierd

took me about an hour the first time I set mine. Spent an hour and a half after I grounded everything and it changed the second time.

One thing I liked about the Monkey Made MM-4 I have on the Dodge is that out of the box I could adjust the SWR's flat without cutting anything.

Lil Rebs 10K is mounted on a tri mag mount,,,most of the ones that I have tuned on the tri-mag,,,I have had to pull up about 1/2" to 3/4" and they tune pretty good across the channels,,his problem was when the amp was turned on,,,no audio,,,kinda like the amp wasn't getting enough power, but 8 ga to the battery,,and its only a 2 pill,,,no idea what is wrong,,,I think the radio keyed 2 watts and was only getting about 50watts out of the amp,,total,,without the amp, his SWP General Lee was nothing but smacking ducks and kicking chickens!! and yes everything is well grounded

i relly have no idea but i'll throw something out there anyways... could it be a bad jumper?

[BigBopper]

New jumper,,,should of tried another one though,,you can get bad jumpers,,,,Thanks

Wow, Big Bopper, I had to cut 2 and 1/2 feet off my whip to tune.

Mudduck said to ship the amp back to him,,good service!!
