    Hook a 102 inch peace of wire to the ground side of the antenna at the antenna base then check your SWR again ...

    EUREKA!!!! it seems some dummy had the mounting stud for the coax/antenna put together wrong and i had continuity between the base and the mounting bracket....put the mounting stud together properly and it was like the sun coming up.haha
    The best i can get on the SWR(in radioSWR) is 2 but the self test of the radio says that passes....I will ge a real SWR in a few days and check it again....

    I would like to thank all who have replied to my initial post I really appreciate it......:biggrin_255:

    You... do realize that this would not fix the problem, right?

    Honestly, I wish you'd quit posting in the CB radio forum, as it's obvious that you know less than you think you do.

    Well said brother...well said. He tries too hard to sell us all on the Ham thing I will get a license someday but in my own time...don't need it shoved in my face with every post. It just looks boring to sit home and talk on a radio when I could pick up the phone and call someone in England if I wanted to also. It's about being on the road talking to other drivers,having fun not sitting staring at the wall and talking about cutting my grass. I've heard the conversations on thier bands it's a bore-fest 9 out of 10 times. I want to shoot myself ugh. Hello I'm in Spain where are you? Hi I'm in Japan hello. Boring cripes....some of the ham guys are cool but this dude must lead a very boring life...there's a whole world out there bro go out and do something.

    Here's an example I invited Bruce out when i was in Sarasota for some drinks...what better way to extend the olive branch while having drinks and getting some table dances from naked women at Cheetaa's. He didn't come but it was last minute so that's understandable but I'll be down there again in the fall so who knows? He might come next time:biggrin_2559:
