There is a Person on here that I am hoping responds due to the clarity in his / her posts.
I have a 2020 Nissan Titan XD pro 4 X with a panoramic sun/moon roof, I recently installed a CB radio a high power radio. I have hooked up the hot wire to the battery, the ground wire to the chassis where the negative terminal of the battery connects. I have a Sirio Performer 5000 mag mount antenna, with rg58 factory cable. since I have hooked the radio up I can not transmit ( one out going call to Waco TX from NY) modulation meter does not move while transmitting, power meter moves while attempting to transmit, no return calls.
Take the radio out of the truck test it on a bench performs great, just like it was designed to do.
Re install the radio, tune antenna, SWR 1.2 / 1.5 key the mic no modulation, check SWR again 1.9 to 2.5 on 1 and 3 or higher on 40. Put the radio its self on SWR and key the mic, then touch the radio and the meter on the radio moves.
I have the mag mount on top of the cab behind the sun roof, the mag mount is grounded to the bed of the pickup. whip is 61 1/2"
Someone help a devildog out please.
