Bought parents a mobile CB and connected it in their home
Having trouble getting anyone
We tried 102" whip
We then bought a fiberglass segmented unit I think its over 20' that sits on a tripod
Not getting much if any reception.
Question...
is a standard RG58 30' long TOO long?
We tried RG-8 as well about 30'
Wasn't sure if that was too long for the radio
Was wondering also if cable itself is suitable ground or do I need to run a separate ground out to the base, Not for lightening protection but performance enhancement.
Even tried it on a president Lincoln 2plus and not reaching anyone.
Is CB dead in the Long Island NY region?
