Hi,

I was at a yard sale and bought this base station for cheap. I do not have an outside antenna, so I connected an old 8 foot marine whip to it and I can hear some conversation, but the gauge doesn't move much when transmitting. I changed antennas to a Wilson 5000, with no difference.

Should I take this to a shop to get looked at? Is this a good CB Base station or should I use this for a boat anchor?

If someone has a manual on pdf, please send it to me.

    Coax question. I just put up a new Sirio monsoon base antenna with 100’ of rg8u coax testing with myMFJ antenna analyzer shows 1.4 swr at 26.965mhz and a 1.1 at 27.405 mhz . When I checked the ohms it’s steady a 30 ohms across the entire bandwidth.
  • @ Geoexplorer69:
    Is 30 ohms worth worrying about in a 100’ run of rg8u ?
