Too far away. Was gonna offer help and some antenna options. I'm in Arkansas.
Where you located?
I wouldn't run a 4ft antenna unless I had to for height restrictions reasons. Longer is better every time.
Always better to have it on the roof. I have found, if you use the proper rubber plug to stop-up the hole, it won't hurt the value at all. If...
I haven't seen him anywhere on social media lately. I wondered what happened to him? Seems like last time he posted he was having some problems of...
I never tried it so I can't help you.
All the Walmart cabovers had spinner knobs. If they were illegal, that would not have occurred. They kinda died out when we began the transition...
I slipped seated and ran a 7ft SkipShooter. There is a long thread on here about it. My solution, with pictures, is on about post 30. It was on...
First thing you always check is your mic. Is it receiving?
I use a 7.5 in all my export radios.
I wouldn't think you could hurt a swr meter unless you are running power thru it?
I think the NGP is a good choice if you don't want to go to a lot of trouble. No, it won't talk as far as the setup I ran prior to 2017 (retired),...

I was always told 18" max. If you strip the paint off just under the washer then make the attachment and then spray it with a shot of clear coat...
1. A dedicated coax from the radio to the antenna to start. 2. Then you go with the longest antenna you can get by with and make sure it has a...
Don't think it will ever work the way you want it to unless you run a dedicated coax to the antenna.
I agree. It may stay squelched down, but it will be there just in case. Still run across a few of the old school drivers out there from time to time.
Yes it is!
I've never drove a truck without a working radio. Retired end of 2017, still had a radio. Pull my 5th wheel travel trailer with a semi, still got...
The only real issue to installing a CB is that of the antenna. The radio itself is simple and has a positive and a negative wire. Ideally those...
