Hey guys I’ve been running a CB in my vehicles for several years now but have never really done much research into other than setting SWR. I know how to do that but don’t have much knowledge beyond that. I’m wanting to get a new set up in my Jeep Grand Cherokee and want to know if it sounds “efficient”, mainly the antenna aspect.
I’m gonna be running a Cobra radio, totally stock, a TNT 350HD amp, and a Wilson 2000 Trucker antenna. The main question I have is in regards to my antenna location. I have a mount from a Jeep accessory company that mounts the antenna on the back between the gap of the tailgate and side panel just above the tail light ( The Steel Armadillo LLC > Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) 2005-2010 > Steel Armadillo CB Antenna Mount ). With the 10” shaft that comes with the Wilson 2000 the coil will be about 9-12” below the roof of my car. Will that be a major issue with TX, RX, and setting a good SWR?
