Looking for suggestions Volvo 670

Thats the mount i was looking for a few weeks ago..Been one or two at dysarts for ages and the 1 time i wanted it,none to be had..

Rabbi....Remember when we met up and tinkered on my freightliner set up....Thats basically same thing..15 mi with marks tune was really pushin it to..
That mirror arm and beefy bracket helps with counterpoise but i dont see it maken much of a diff..

 

I'll bet ya if the stock CB antenna is on the same side of the truck as the antenna you are using, it will make a difference in your SWR if you remove it. Test it and see. I have. On a Cascadia, it will drop from about 1.9:1 to below 1.5:1. I always remove the stock antenna when I mount my mirror mount and 7ft SkipShooter. (that would be the antenna on the sleeper on a Cascadia) Oh by the way, two more weeks and I'll have a good quality stainless steel mirror mount complete with 9ft coax I won't need anymore......... hanging it up finally!

 

Mike, so two more weeks and that's it, for sure?

Hope you got that base setup ready to go, the one with long legs and big ears!

 

Not likely ill get a chance to retire but wven if i do,i cant imagine the day..I would be lost..

 

Well I'm planning on it. After the wind the storm we had night before last I'm wondering if I won't regret it, but oh well.

 

If you have tuned it and it is still that high, you have a rf ground issue. Once you get that fixed, if possible, you should see a difference in swr readings by removing the stock antenna. That is just my experience, no science at all behind that statement.

 

Hi sir,I’m just new to this CB stuff
I got 2022 vnl 760 volvo and Cobra 29LX,did I understand it right,that i can screw in a factory spot,a Wilson 2000 with 10" shaft on a driver side,and get this amount of power?
It’s company truck,don’t wanna to make a lot of mess by running new coax.Plus putted everything according to instructions,and no body hears me,and i cant hear anybody.So probably got an antenna problem anyway.
Thanks

 

The coax that is factory is hooked up to the am/fm/sometimes xm radio system and it is great for the am/fm sometimes XM radio system, but for CB it sucks. Getting a new coax and a mount is a must, got have to separate the factory system from the CB to make it work.
