LOL. We just use the CB to talk on the 4x4 trails, so its mosly just a few hundred feet apart. I did not test the coax for a short. I will check that right away, I will be home in 2 hours and can measure that. I guess I don't know what to to test, is the problem. I did check the top was...

It's like any tool, once you learn to use it you don't know how you got by without it. I have one on order and the club is going to preprogram it for all the different repeaters. They will even open the channels so I can get outside of just Ham freq. It's not illegal to make the mod, just...
