Technically - the flaw in the slaw is the fact that your antenna bracket
sucks.
When you mount a antenna, you want to mount it as far away from anything
metallic that could reflect the signal as possible.

The bracket you have is the lazymans way of installing a antenna.

In order to attach the antenna to the bed and make the bed capacitive,
you would need to attach 4 copper ground straps at least one inch wide -
braid to the 4 corners of the bed to the frame and 2 to the cab and 4
from the cab to the frame and two from the front sheet metal to the
frame and one from the engine to the frame and one from the transmission
to the frame and one on each corner to the axles to make the body appear
as if it was one solid object.

The problem with this is - most people are cheap and lazy and refuses to
spend money and does not understand how transmitting works and omits
these difficult steps from the install. After they install it and finds
that it does not work as designed, they blame the mount and got to some
other type of mount or antenna.

Clevis say it does makes dat echo mic work da loudest. You not no the
lazy dixyman HeeeeHaw! BReAAAAAker
