I attached a sketch of what I had in mind. It would look sort of like those wiremold things you might see covering the wiring on track lighting except made of rubber or vinyl instead of metal. Or also maybe like those things you can run computer cables in on the floor. There would be a strip...

Anyone know if there is any sort of magnetic channel or wiremold type of thing that I could stick on the roof of my car over the coax cable from a mag mount antenna to protect it some and keep it from vibrating around up there? I apparently haven't stumbled on the magic google keywords for...

I tried a different antenna and it easily tuned up for an SWR which is < about 1.2:1 or 1.3:1 over channels 1-40. This time it went much more smoothly and took about what I expected. The only challenge was waiting for a day with no rain in Atlanta (Atlantis?).

I am calibrating the SWR meter each time. Is the roof rack high enough to interfere? Not really sure, but the coil is pretty much at the base of the antenna. Most of the roof rack is metal but the part which actually connects to the car is plastic. I have verified both visually and via a...

out of curiosity... do you have 1) a roof rack? 2) a moon roof? I have both and I realized today that the roof rack is not grounded. The side rails are about 1/8 of a wavelength at 27 MHz. The cross rails are a little less. So not quite up to the 1/2 wave resonance, but perhaps...

I did mess a little with the antenna height via the set screw like you mentioned. It made a small difference but it seemed like I was starting out too far off. I don't see anything visually wrong with the coax. No cuts, hasn't been slammed in the door or anything either, hasn't been tightly...

Hello, I just purchased my first CB radio. Here is my setup Cobra 18 WX ST II radio Cobra HG A1500 antenna (mag mount) RadioShack 21-534 CB/HF Ham Power/SWR meter installed in a honda CR-V EX (the EX has a moon roof) After putting in the radio I wanted to experiment with antenna...
