?? Tuning the new Maco V58 ??

[mjarx]

I dialed mine in at 12' and mounted it at 52' to base and it got a tiny bit worse and now I cant reach it ;( do what you have to do with the radiator length and the matching ring to get it as FLAT as possible before it goes into the air ! Mine went from 1:1 at 12' across the 40 to 1:1.03-1:1.7 across the 40 when it went up . If your not flat on the ground it will only get worse ..

Best Omni I have ever owned though ! I had the v5/8 then the radials sagged so I got the 5/8-5000 and its a beefy performer no doubt !!

Just bought the V58...now wondering if I should have gotten the 5000

New here...isn’t 19 the middle of the CB Band. If you add the frequencies from CH1 & CH40 & divide by 2 you get 27.185 (CH19)

Don't forget the rc slots stuck down there in the original 23 channels

It's not going to matter too much.
You will find many casual users of CB don't know what actual frequency they are on as they just look at the channel display.
Only us nutty radio guys worry about frequencys.
