Hello,
First, I'm brand spanking new to CB's, so be gentle lol. I got a Uniden 980 and a
Wilson 305-38 300-Watt Little Wil Magnet Mount Antenna.
Trying to hook it up, I set the Calibrate to the line on the display. Then going to the swr menu, keying the mic Chan 1 is above 3 and Chan 40 is around 1 on the display.
I tried following the instructions to raise the antenna a little bit at a time, but I can't get the swr to come close to the same on both channels.To the point where raising the antenna as high as the set screw will allow.
As well, and I'm not sure if this is related, but I can't even get the weather stations to come in. I get nothing but static, on any channel. I assume this is because the antenna is way out of whack...?
Did I buy the wrong antenna? I can't raise it any more.
Thanks for any advice...
