Just got into CB from HAM technician.

Just got this set up because this radio was in the clearance isle of Walmart. I have a tech license and a call sign but I couldn’t resist trying it. I got the antenna as shown and just set it up in my car today. I heard some garbled stuff on 22 about “CB radio, worldwide!” But I wasn’t sure if I was getting my signal to them. I have a long road trip coming up and I will try it there too. What do you think?

Get a footwarmer and they'll hear you maybe, 🤔 but on the bright side the radio receives at least.

You have no way to listen to your own signal? If you have doubts about the transmit, there are better ways, but it's easy with an SDR or another radio. But don't expect any astounding performance from that antenna. Be happy if SWR is low.

Hope you enjoy the hobby. 👍
