So after much anguish and gnashing of teeth I finally got an antenna system to work! There does not seem to be enough ground plane on the Sport to use a standard antenna. Today I installed a non ground plane antenna and it works! Low and consistent SWR! Now to test the range.
Pics or it didn't happen!! LOL JK I think for us Bronco owners our options are very limited to the front of the truck or if one isn't taking off the full top then maybe the rear with a non-ground on the MIC
