Thanks beetle. So I have been trolling around the internet and have seen here as well but talk of this SKIP, what is that mean?

Ha told you. LOL. Good to know, for me at least.

So I have noticed that when I transmit that the lights on my CB DIM, what casues that? Second what gauge wire should I use to run power to the CB, also do I need to hard wire the CB to my battery; at present it is wired to the junction box under my dash. Thanks! Josh

I can't help but would also like to know. plus maybe the post count will get some one in here, :DHEHE

I am not sure if this is a radio related question but, I was practicing my soldering on a 3.5mm sound cord and found that there were 3 wires RED, GREEN and YELLOW. I figure out that yellow is common ground and grn is left and red is right. so I solder some wire to the red and one to the yellow...

Cool! Here is another bit of info I remembered. Forgive me it was about a year ago. Ok the thing is he was checking my SWR on a radioshack CB that I had installed previous to my now Cobra. So does that matter or is the SWR solely for setting the SWR to the antenna and not the radio??

Without a user manual, this is what you get. Just noticed another switch that I am not aware of the meaning. First I would like to apologize for my questions I am sure they could be answered if I had a manual, but I do not so again I appreciate the info and patience in my ignorance. Now...

I understand that, but I am not seeing an option on where to post the link or load one under my user CP. On other forums I have been in there usually is an option in my U CP that says edit AVATAR??

Ok not to :bdh:, but I put the stock whip back in the mount; buried it in and (I know I need an external meter but I am using the internal until funds allow for an external one. plus I guess it is a good teaching tool for me now.) backed out of my drive way and checked the SWR Ch1 between the S...

Sorry, forgot to resize again. So not to seem pushing, how about that avatar? any thoughts?:redface:

Ha I just realized I got a rep point looking at the pic.

Ok not to say I told you so, LOL As you can see no heart next to any other posts except mine. and no option for avatar.

Odd thing is the only heart that appears in next to my posts :confused:

Ok. I actually talked to someone on the way into work. Told them I'm new to the whole CB thing and he said just call out or whatever he said basically there are some people local to me that are willing to help. I know the one guy who set me up awhile back, knows his stuff. A lot of the people...

How do I give rep points to users?? And while I am here how do I get an avatar?

Ok so here comes the not well thought out question: How does the other type antenna get is ground? Something tells me through the way it is mounted???

Ok, :redface: I am kind of understanding that. I found this: So with the base loaded antenna the capacitive coupling is made through the magnet mounting surface????

For my education if I am really starting to understand things: This section of the antenna(Pic A) is the very same or does the same as this section on the other kind(Pic B) Pic A Pic B If that is true than the Stinger/Whip on both kinds will need to be adjusted to get the SWR...

You are the first to guess it in all the different forums I have been in with out my helping. Great info. THANKS! Josh

Ok so I have taking 3/4 off the top(a 1/4 at a time) and my reading is now: Ch 01 - sitting right on the 2 ch 20 - sitting right on the 2 Ch 40 - right above the 2 Now I know there is everyone's' opinions on the accuracy of the built in meter. I feel that the CB I have has not been tweaked in...
