I need some help - Antenna Warning on SWR Check

Ok now we are getting somewere. You have reached a perfect swr on 20 and 40. . Still a little high on 1 but that is easily fixable. Just raise the whip slightly. go in either of an inch increments at a time. Check SWR each time you adjust the antenna whip.

The main thing is that the SWR is safe. I would not worry too much about the light as long as your swr is less then 2. Perfer it to be around 1.5 or less but less then 2 will not be damaging to the final in the radio.

 

I don't know if someone has already answered you but I have the same CB and HAD the same problem. Here is the solution.

Run your coax out to a mirror mount for the antenna and get one of those $20 adjustable antennas from a truck stop.. It's thick and black but at the top it has a thin antenna that can slide in and out and tightens down with a hex wrench. Solved the problem and the SWR's are perfectly calibrated.

 

05 electraglide classic, Black Cherry, currently runnings andrews 26s, SE pro tuner, Stage 1 filter and high flow intake manifold, The older SE slip ons (the ones that actually make a little noise and make actual power, Updated high flow oil pump, Sundowner seat. Have 95 cylinders and SE flat top pistons waiting along with the better raised intake deck 96 heads. It should be ready for break in sometime next week. Then it goes for final dyno tuning. I am hoping to reach that 100/100 area with it. Next winter it is getting all the paint work removed and freshened up with a fresh black cherry job minus the pin stripes, then going to find some smaller passing lights and update the rear turn signal setup a little and remove the rails. I am also contimplating exhaust changes, Possibly a Fullsac setup or find away to retro one of the newer 2-1-2 aftermarket setups onto it.

I am also thinking of possibly a cam swap at the time of the 95 install. I really like the 26s but they fall flat too quickly. They pull great through the mid range but fall off more then I care for on top.

I have no clue why I am doing the 95 in the first place. As it sits it will leave rubber on a hard roll on and it will do it through 3 gears.
