I have a old CB Antenna from Radio Shack model # 21-989.
I was about to put a PL-259 connector onto the Antenna Coax.
I was checking to see if the Coax was in good shape and when I checked the Coax with a Continuity checker, there was a direct connection between the Coax Lead and the Grounding shield.
I was very supprised.
I would think there should NOT be a direct connection between the Coax Lead and the Grounding shield.
Could this be a Short in the Coax, as I would think???
or
Could it be possible that this type of Magnetic Mount CB Antenna, would have the Lead and Ground connected?
