Sounds like you have a multimeter. I would leave the end connected to the antenna, and check from the other end and make sure it’s not a direct short.

Also, does the radio seem to receive ok when the antenna is connected?

In your meter picture, are we looking at reflected power in watts, or is that actual SWR?

I went looking around at some of these mounts just out of curiosity, seems most people are happy with them, and any negative comments I saw were unrelated to tuning issues. I just mention that because I doubt most folks posting on CB sites and reviewing on Amazon have gone through the trouble to bond the hinges and etc.
