You need a SWR meter. I have 1 36" firestik and got it dialed in good with a buddies meter $$$ for this one. Go to a truck stop and pickup a swr meter for $20-30.

I have dual (cophase) 4' Firestik antennas with tuneable tips. They are great antennas, be sure to have a good ground plane also. Check out Firestik's website (like 2500Ram stated) they have loads of good info on there. Wouldnt use your radio too much before tuning them in with a meter! Good luck!
