Its a Cobra 29 NW Ltd classic ( used ) opened up looks like someone cut JP36 and put resistors on opposite side to lower the deadkey
I had first thought I had a counterpoise problem (not enough)
It is in a 92 Jeep Wrangler
My antenna is mounted on the passenger side front fender on a stainless mount with paint ground off under the mount. I also ran a 4awg grounding strap from the mount to the firewall grounding stud for the vehicle and then one to the frame. I would think its grounded good enough but
The two antennas I have tried are a 3' firestick 2 with tunable tip and a K40 bottom load with steel whip.
I will hopefully be able to test it with a friends cb later this week.
Any other thoughts??
Thanks
