I need to tune my CB. I just got it a little while ago, have never had one before and need to adjust the antenna somehow. Do you know what that meter is called that helps tune the reception? Am I even describing the right thing? I remember the radio shack manual mentioned playing with the distance that the top half of the antenna sticks out of the black thing half way up the stick.
Hopefully see you at the meet on June 6!Mike

What you're describing is an SWR meter (standing wave ratio) they sell them at Radio shack, probly $15.00-25.00. A good thing to have. Hook it up between the antenna and cb, the meter should come with a small lenght of cable for that. Put your cb on channel 20 key up and the needle should be near 1:1. Raising or lowering (cutting off a small piece at a time) will bring it closer to 1:1. Just be sure it will help to shorten it....you can't add on. Hope this helps.Jim, W.Mass. 1976 J-10 258/6 "short-bed" rebuilt motor, Webber 2bbl, Rancho 5000, C.B. 2M HAM, 30" high cap to fit over roll bar KB1FIT (sadly...sold)

By the way, I was refering to the antenna as far as raising, or lowering. Yes where the "black thing" ( the load ) is , is where the adjustment screw should be.Jim, W.Mass. 1976 J-10 258/6 "short-bed" rebuilt motor, Webber 2bbl, Rancho 5000, C.B. 2M HAM, 30" high cap to fit over roll bar KB1FIT (sadly...sold)

I'm sure there are a bunch, me included. Unfortunately I'm pounding more keyboard keys then CW paddles. Too many hobbies, too little time, hamradio, FSJ, Apache camper, home improvements, kid's T-Ball, soccer etc. The only use my 2M handheld got is Hosstrader and MIT hamfest.
