    Well got my swr down to 1.9 right now. Good enough until I get home to get it better. But it is below 2.0 which is what I was shooting for. I know 1.5 and below is what you want but I don't have everything here and the cb shop I went to didn't do a good job the first time so not going back. So 1.9 is good for the next week. Well time for a shower it is hit out and I don't like being a dirty trucker. I got go be clean to sleep.

    Here in hyrun Utah picking up at jbs. Heading to Minnesota for Monday delivery. Which sucks because that won't go on this weeks check now. I already asked they said no .. Slight upset. Only makes 1600 mile week ... Oh well guess this load will cushion next weeks miles and make a good pay week .. Also found out they messed my direct deposit up so checks are being mailed home. Not doing me much good when I'm out here and no way to access my pay and take care of bills over the phone .., do I guess this could be my official first complaint.

    Lol yep I say that would be. Don't blame ya either. Don't know if any person that would not be upset about that. Are they going to try and run you by the house so you can get your checks in the bank or you have someone that can do it for you?

    Came off home time yesterday and was told to head to Holcomb, load will follow. I never did get a load. I heard that the main load planner was pretty sick yesterday though. Should get something this morning hopefully.

    Guys lets help each other out concerning the swr issues on the coranados. If you ate able to get a 1.0 flat please describe in best detail what your using for antenna, ground, etc. I agree one solo antenna. Cb shops love to take afvantage of us and sell us everything we dont need. I just want my General Lee on a 1.1 swr antenna. Daniel what exact cb shop did you go to? Any one have any good experiences near texas?
     
    Daniel.trawick Thanks this.

    I went to the one off ext 472 on I-20. Beside the j. The ground is good. I tested that with my meter. even ohm it out to .2 ohms on the ground do I know it is good. The thing I found wrong was the guy didn't tighten down the ant. Before testing. I went back and tighten everything down and was able to get a swr that would adjust. Still have some more work to do but I'll save that when I get home and have my ladder to use. I also went back on the factory wire. Put on new studs and clean off the coax ends. Had to get. New stingers as the old ones where too short after the cb shop cut on them. Now that place does good cb work. Just didn't do a good ant adjustment.

    And I am still using two terminator two ants. I had them adjusted to a 1.2 on the Pete. Could have done better but I was happy with the 1.2. I beleave I can do the same with the Coronado when I get home. Then I'll put my galaxy 99v back in.
