alright i got good news. i have another cb that i set up in my room with a ghetto antenna. i can hear my cb in the truck from in my room. so why arent i getting out past the half mile or so that i tested it?
how do i check the swr? the meter i have, you plug one end of the cable into the bottom, and have another cable connceting it to the other destination.
how can i go directly form the radio to the antenna and measure the swr? my meter as a end on the top and the bottom to plug each into.
so 1.5 is a good range?
well from under the dash to the very edge closest to the cab on the bed rail. if your going by wire footage, a 10 ft cable ran between them.
i have tried two different mics as well.
i've got a cb setup in my truck and can not get out to anybody. i have meter setup as well and can hear for a good distance. i just cant talk to anybody. this is the second setup im on since the first didnt get out either.
what can i check?
