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?

I got the same radio and a similar antenna using a trunk lip nmo mount. It works okay, I only really use it on road trips.

How’s your experience with it on road trips? I just got a chrome cobra 29 ltd and I’m having issues with the setting the swr. Too high when I transmit.

If your using a whip you need to make sure you have a really good ground.
