Iron..even if cab is on rubber it shouldnt matter..Its a mag mount which means it already on metal..The metal is his gp..
Either its not enuf or its a bad coax or maybe even a bad antenna...Who know maybe coax is pinched off..With a 3 on ch 1 and 40 its still likely gp..
Having trouble getting out.

3.0 SWR is not good. I would make sure the ground was good enough. Just one of the things that Fine Tune advised me to check before running one of his radios -
I'd try the setup on a car to see what the SWRs look like.
Also, check the continuity like the picture shows, then I'd try a ground strap from the cab to the frame.
The antenna should be one that is designed for CB use. I've seen really short antennas less than 2 feet long yield high SWRs even when installed correctly.iron horse 128 Thanks this. -
He is on a skidder...Not that i have used one but last ones i saw had tons of metal up top...Not like our plastic 18 wheelers..
