The system I ran on my Nova, cb brand "Alan K350B" and a radio shake magnet mount with a exact 1.1 swr. If the noise was low during the day, I could consistently talk 10 plus miles. At night, I could consistently talk 20 plus miles. I run this same setup in my Bronco and get the same performance. When in the mountains it is less of course. No linear and no peak/tune. I love my setup.
