New to cb world help

Hey gang,
1st time poster. I bought a uniden 980 and have been trying to tune it since 1:30pm... it is now 9:00pm.... according to the readings I'm getting, my antenna is too short. BUT, It is full factory length. I'm using a sirio performer 5000 magmount system. The lowest swr readings i get are ch.1 - 2.07 ch.40 - 1.6. According to the person that worked on my radio, I should be getting "ch.1 - 1.4. Ch.40 - 1.28" BUT "no more than 1.7" ANY help would be GREATLY Appreciated.
Thanks

 

Ok here goes. I took my '05 Tundra pickup to a cb shop and the installer put the antenna on the top center of the cabin. He ran some kind of meter/analyzer (swr?) through the antenna alone and said it was a perfect match all the way across. I used the internal swr meter to check it once I left the shop because i was told that if it was higher than the specified numbers (see 1st post) the warranty of 30 days would not cover it. The person that worked on my radio had the internal swr as mentioned in my 1st post. I cant even come close to that. I must also mention that the shop i had the work done at was close to closing time.... so i kind of feel like the work might have been rushed to leave on time.

 

Yes, you are correct. When i checked the swr with the built in, it read 3.8 on Ch. 1 and 3.6 on Ch. 40.

The 30 days cover the radio and the work done to it.

I dont know if thats all he checked. Thats all i was told. And like i said before, he seemed (to me) kinda in a hurry because it was almost closing time.
So here is a question. I hope i can explain it right. Ok the swr readings tell me that the antenna is too long even thought the antenna is full length, BUT is it possible to trim it down till it comes back to a lower swr reading?

 

Lol. Thank You for the info! I have an ohm meter. What should i measure? I can borrow an swr meter. Can or will the external swr meter be THAT different from the internal? Something that doesnt make sense to me is, why would a radio company install a meter in it only to NOT be accurate?... is there a recommended analyzer? Maybe not too $$$?
