ok, that may be problem now that I think about it! thanks. It was pretty close since I just had it sitting there while I was testing it out. Will test out!

Alright well, I figured out what my problem was, I had mic gain turned all the way down and I found out that mic gain controls volume while in PA mode. New problem though, I am unable to get it up very loud before it starts to squeel. Anyone know what is causing this, how can it be improved...

I just got a whole new CB setup! which included a SPECO PA speaker that I bought on Ebay. It came with a two wire hookup, no plug since it is heavier duty. So I picked up a mono plug at Radioshack and tried to wire it up real quick to see if the speaker worked. I got sound out of the speaker...

Yes getting the SWR down is my main goal I hope for less than 1.5 I am going to see how the wilson antenna does and if it's high I am going to try either raising the mount up some or a 'hot rod' antenna someone recomended them to me because of the linear load they have Radio came today, got...

Well I have the Firestik mount that is meant to mount inside vertcal doorframes and stick out the gap (as on hatchbacks of mini vans and suv's. I took off my passenger tailight and mounted it behind that as low as possible and then put my tailight back on, does that make sense? As far as...

Ok, well after looking at the wilson site the actual height of the antenna could work for me except it says the coil has to be above the roofline. Even if I get the longer 22" shaft, which would not work anyways because it would be too high for my garage, most drive through's, and parking...

I would like to be able to fit into my garage with the antenna on, (not to mention parking garages) that is why I was thinking about the 4' or 5' fiberglass. How tall are the W 2000 with the wip on? Also, even though it's a stupid reason I like the look of the fiberglass. Should I upgrade my...

Need help with my setup. I have just bought a Uniden PC68 ELITE Bearcat Pro Series off Ebay. I am learning, and based on some things i have read here and other forums I am planning on buying a Wilson 4' or 5' Silverload antenna. This will be mounted with a bracket behind the tailight of...
