Distance issues

Thanks, thats what ive been contiuing to do, i just dont like that antenna warning(though ive seen forums with many reasons why it goes off other than just the antenna being bad such as a mic being loose) i think they put that on there if you're not using all cobra gear haha, but the light just makes a guy a little paranoid that something is wrong that'll burn out the system... but then ahain most cb's dont have that warning and people go bu the srw and such. By the way i did get my own swr meter now and the swr is a 1.0
