Hi all,
New to the CB game, I picked up a Cobra 29lx and a firestik 4 foot antenna. I have a few questions.
1. Is it better to hard wire it? I'm currently running out of my 12v outlet.
2. I'm getting all kinds of static, currently have the squelch set about midpoint and RF gain all the way up. Do I need a inline noise filter? I have the built in ones on the radio on.
3. I tuned the antenna using an astatic pdc 1 swr meter and got the following results: ch.1 = 1.9, ch.19 = 1.4, ch.40 = 1.5. Is this good or bad? Is further antenna tuning needed?
Thanks for any help,
Jordan
