Its about Truck drivers in the USA

Checked the connection on the cable that I use for the SWR meter to the CB and the connection has split. So Im gonna get a cheap soldering iron and try n fix it.

Couldnt check the coax to the antenna base as its moulded!
At least I know what Im looking for no

Thanks

Was trying to get my mobile CB set up again, and I cant get a low SWR reading, Its all 10+ from Ch1 to CH40. No matter ho much I raise the Antenna.

Ive tried lowering the antenna that came with the CB with no joy, and its much the same with the Orbiter HD Centre load.

As Im a total newbie on this ...

Cheers guys!

Just had a proper look. Thinking of the Orbiter HD Centre load.

Got a Cobra 19DX IV EU of ebay a while back and it came with a SWR Antenna. Only can get 2 mile range if that.
What would be the best antenna to get for a small car (Seat Ibiza) rather have a mag mount the start drilling holes in the roof!

Thanks in advance

HI there, was given a CB radio by a teacher when I left school and I couldnt get it to work.
12 years later I got myself one to go in the car

I dont know much about CBs but I want to learn more and get a base station sorted

Will put a few pics of the mobile soon
