<p>[QUOTE="WrongWay30, post: 11677537, member: 64149"] <ol> <li>I can't seem to find any good info on you tube or the net. I have an older Cobra NightWatch 29. My antenna is a Tram(comparable to Wilson 2500). My cb is all stock.. I set the cb to the antenna(channel 20, mic keyed up and lined up with the arrow on meter). Next I checked swr. On channel 1 swr is below 1/2. On channel 40 swr is about 1 1/4. I used the gauge on the cb unit.. All set up in a 2021 Freightliner Cascadia. All grounds and other wires/connections are stock. Rf gain was all the way up. Dyna mic was turned All the way up then back off a small turn. The SoundTracker button was turned on.<br /> I was recently told my set up needed work by another driver while talking. No one I've talked to really knows about cb radios.<br /> I'm here cause I'm not exactly sure on what may be the right set up. Do I have a good set up or did I miss something? I want to sound clear when I talk<br /> Any reply is appreciated.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/posts/11677522/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/posts/11677522/">12 minutes ago</a></li> </ol><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
