Don't use the SWR function in the cobra 29's, they are useless. Since you're getting two different SWR readings from both radios on the same...
Oh okay, the one antenna that I can think of that might perform close to the power stick, would be a sharpshooter antenna. I don't have any...
Sorry, I'm at a loss as far as copper antenna goes. Is this a brand of antenna? Or are you referring to a copper coil loaded antenna?
If your asking if you need an adapter to use a 4 plug microphone, I would say yes, since the radio has 6 pins due to the up/down feature on the...
That's pretty impressive to get 35 years out of a mobile antenna. I assume you take it apart once a year or so and clean it?
I've used a bench vise before. You have to work slow, or the whip will spin in the vice. A pair of vice grip pliers clamped down tight on the...
That's a good point. Also maybe Dave should use a top loaded antenna. It may give him that edge to reach out farther.
Well I can't argue with that logic. Ha.
Thank you for the picture, very nice looking truck. I would think it would be worth trying an antenna mounted on the top of the headboard, rather...
Yes I totally agree. I've always felt that one of the worst things about the Internet, is that it's a lot easier for people to be a bully by...
I don't blame you, I wouldn't put holes in the fender either. In fact I screwed up again with my post. When I read fender on your earlier post,...
Well thank you. I appreciate it.
Well I guess you can say that is partly true with the old cab over trucks. Ha. At the time of my post, I was thinking that the hood was part of...
Well at least you would have some metal under the antenna, which would help.
That's true. To me the hood and fenders are all part of the cab of a truck.
That's interesting, I thought the hoods were fiberglass too. Unless these are older trucks.
You hit the nail on the head with that post. Most of the law or rules are broken on a daily basis on the CB band. I've always heard the the FCC is...
Sorry to hear Gadfly has passed. I enjoyed a lot of his posts. Remember it's SWR, not SWR'zzzzzz.
It seems after the system upgrade, my post is gone. Basically I was saying if you pull the cover off, it may give you a clue if your radio is the...
That's disappointing to hear about the President Andy radio, I thought they would be a great radio. I also have a Cobra 19 III that was given to...
