usually you don't bend them that tight, there is a holder for the end of the whip if you need clearance for Say a garage door

Even if they do have them, they might not know it. I asked for one and got a deer in the headlights look. I had to talk him in to going to look in the back, took him like 10 minutes to figure it out. The moral of the story is that you'll probly have to ask for it, they probly won't have them on display. Sorry I tend to ramble.

dont wory about the swr. you can get a box to configure them depending on what antanea you get. my fiberglass ones are preset so i will not have to worry about it. the 102 whips they say are the best ones to get. are you planning on going for appearance?? if you are putting out 4 watts through a legal radio, then those things are kinda a waste. that is my opinion. if you got something more like mine that runs normal at 40 watts but can incorporate a linear into it, then it would be worth your time and money.

Leo took the words out of my mouth I was about to say that they can do that for you for free. I remember having one ears yes ears ago I placed a tennis ball on it so it wouldn't rub on my paint.
