2020 Cascadia - Where in the heck do you hang the mic?

A descrepancy of 3.9, thats quite alot, measuring with separate meter only ( no analyzer) the largest difference Ive seen is around .8, radio meter read 1.2, outside meter read 2.0. The most accurate radio swr meter that I have seen is the new Uniden 78ltd, it was in total agreement with outside meter, another meter that I found to be real accurate is the meter used by Galaxy, it requires no calibration, just switch to swr and key mic, I had a 929 and DX 45MP that both had the meter and both were pretty accurate. The new President Mckinley is pretty accurate too, just go to menu, select swr and radio automatically gives reading.

Just keep in mind that the single most important componant is the antenna system ( antenna and coax) as far as power is concerned it requires four times more power to make a significant increase in Tx range, so a basic radio ( like your 29) is probably 4 watt carrier, max pep 16 watts ( if amc is turned up to 100%) so the next increase would be to use a radio like the Stryker 655/955 that has a carrier of 16 watts and max pep if 64+ watts, you should be fine with cobra 29 but if there comes a time you want more range then setup seperate coax and antenna.

 

that's exactly what I thought why not use a gear keeper think I'll just ignore this thread further

 

CB install with phone help...

 

This. Sort of where I started.

 

Here it was I got for 2020 Cascadia
It's one of those little suction cup clip thing they sell at truck stops. Then you clip a CB Gear Keeper into that. I also have a Blue Tiger Bluetooth headset holder. They are flexible and you can bend them to hook around the plastic. So no drilling holes required to hold Blueparrott Head set. My CB is not all the way in the spot yet.
