I figured it out, it works very well now. the swr is about 1.1, or 1.2, the needle does not move very much at all! Still havn't really gotten a chance to try it out, I will when im on the road next, perhaps tomorrow, after installeing the scanner.

Newbie question - Ok, so I mounted the radio shack ball mount on a custome stainless steel mount that I made to attach it to the back of my bed. I ran the rg cable back to the mount. Now there are two wires comming out, one in a plastic cheild type thing, the other, exposed copper braided...

not sure about canada, but I just found out it is illeagle to have a scanner in new york. Now, I fully intend to install the scanner I just baught on ebay. I think this law is pretty stupid. What do you guys think, if by some chance I ge pulled over for speeding (very hard thing to do in my...

I wasnt referring to price range, as I just baught the cobra 29 off of ebay for 90 bucks, and I plan on grabbing a 102" whip once the cb arrives. I am somewhat confused about DXing. The person I baught the cb radio said he was "skipping" all the way down to florida, at night on channel 34, and...

I am also a newbie. I just baught a cobra 29 nightwatch, and a 102" ss whip antenna. As I've been learning more, I think I am gonna want to get into the "DX" scene a bit. But I'll have to wait until I have enough money to upgrade to a cb radio with ssb. Thats ok, when I do get one with ssb, I'll...
