[QUOTE="vidio1, post: 522405, member: 3900"] If you're gonna mess with CB's much you need a standing wave meter or swr. $20 or less on ebay, youtube for instructions. You have to adjust your antenna to mount/cable resistance by having a good mount with as much contact as possible, next adjust swr by adjusting cable length. Store bought cable is built by making it a fraction of a wavelength, 1/4 wavelength, 1/2, 5/8 etc. you might need to adjust it by a foot or so. Finally fine tune it by pulling the cap off your antenna and cutting the wire. This should be the last step since coax and a new end is a couple bucks, a new antenna is well....... [/QUOTE]
