just for the record

Rabbi...Maybe if i catch you some time on my way to carlisle pa ill buy ya lunch and pick your brain in person..

 

What about cab to frame....that did the job for me.

 

Well to be honest i dont know what to do now oug..Everything i thought i understood about what my mfj was telli g me is not correct..
Im fustraited,in need of a cold drink of water and a punching bag..
Not many ham guys will take the time to help a newbie on the cb bands..Not many in my home area that i would go to anyways..Went to one and he tuneswith swr,impedence and r/x like i have been..With all that said and true marks coax shoud be perfect with minor adjustments but its not..Yet my old crappy coax i got from a trk stop cb shop conforms to what i thought i knew..
Like i said before..There is something im not getting/missing and i dont knlw where to go from here..Im just lost and ticked off at the moment..
Gotta calm down some before i get moveing and cross the scales a lil ways up the road...Dont need half a dozen dot cops beatin my ### cause i flipped one off and tellem where to go when he asks for my log book..72 hr blitz is on the go here now in canada..

 

Yeah..ill tear apart a company truck and get castrated..lol
Just confused why my truck stop cb shop coax is given me better #'s for the most part compared to marks coax....I totally expected to see a better set up with my non tuned mark sherman radio..

I just gotta go at it again with a fresh outlook and see whats happening..

 

I have been thinking this for a while now. It would only take the OP a couple of minutes to run a ground wire from the base of the antenna mount to a clean spot on the frame.

 

Various theories about grounding, I personally wouldn't run a ground from antenna all the way to the frame, but i have done many antenna to cab and cab to frame with success.
