ditto

 

Well I'm surprised that two of the five items I ordered showed up today on a Sunday. But more to come and will post up installation pics.

Firestix heavy duty stud mount and the 18' CB cable.

 

Congrats! Something to consider and I have to look into...I am being told that my CB antenna needs a better ground. Apparently, I need a braided wire ground from the antenna to the chassis. I don't know why, it seems to transmit and receive fine, but smarter people than me in the comms field say it needs the strap, so I am trying to learn more.

All the best with your install

 

Thanks man!, I heard that also and one of the reasons why I got the CB is cause I'm doing the Jeep jamboree in Uwharrie national forest in North Carolina and that's one of the requirements. I bought the 4' tunable firestix that comes in today and it has 900watts but I'll let you know when I get it and read the instructions that come with it about the ground.

 

The Jeep Wrangler CB grab bar mount for the passenger grab bar showed up so I just had to install it. Part # JKGBMOUNT from CB world just incase for people who would want to get a mount like this for their Cobra 75 WXST CB Radio.


The 4' firestix II came In also today. Pretty soon I'll have it all set up.

 

What swr meter did you guys use to tune your cb's?

 

I use an MFJ 529E antenna analyzer. What's most important is to use a meter that is relatively accurate. I would not recommend buying a used SWR meter.

 

OK, I'm new to the forum so until I figure out how to post without quotes I will.

I bought an antenna mount for behind the spare but it's powder coat3d... is that OK, or will it affect the signal?
