Thanks for the responces guys. Ill answer these question in order as best i can.

When i transmit, my friends can hear me, and i can hear them. Though their transmit has a little static. But i think that might be because we were close to each other (about 20 feet) and my friend talks right into the mic (like he puts the mic against his mouth when he talks)

I checked my friends SWR and his FireStickII was set at 3:1. So i adjusted it to about 1.7:1 on ch40 and about 1.5:1 on ch 1. Then the radios started working better .

The meter on my radio swings over to 4 when i TX. But i did this with out the SWR meter hooked up. Did you want to know what the meter goes to WITH the SWR meter hooked up?

As for HAM operators in the area, i will search around. I noticed there is a kid at school with 3 cb's in his jeep. So im sure he has an idea what he is doing. I'll drop him a note and ask him about it.
