what i dont get is, if you're supose to set the swr with the all the doors and everything closed, wont it change when you take the doors and top off? do you have to reset the swr when you take them off?

Swr Meter
Originally posted by Troy591 View PostI have it set up just like that picture, and my ground in the hex screw below the trunk door on the tub, and i took off the paint so its just bare steel... still super high...
Just went out bought a new mounting stud. tried everything everyone said. still rating between 10 and the set marker...
So I'm pretty much lost now... if i dont have to i dont want to buy a new coax or antenna. so does anyone else have any ideas?

Tell me how you're grounding it..

It's kind of hard to explain, i'll take pictures in a little bit so you can get a better idea. should i go grab a mount? or fab something up?

could be bad coax. A quick check would be to check continuity between the outer and inner parts of the coax. The sheath is ground, the center pin is the "positive." There should be no continuity between them. Even if there is no continuity, it might still be bad coax...RF can still find a way across, even when DC can't.

SWR trouble...
So i keep tinkering with my CB, and have gone no where...
My SWR meter after being set still says its at 10, no matter how high or low i have the antenna tuned. Check with the cap on and off, tried 4 different places to ground it... my ground still may be bad and hopefully i can fix that tomorrow. but could it be anything else?
Let me know what you think...
Its just sitting at 10/set mark on the meter... mocking me...
I hate these things haha... hahaTags: None
