Hey there - first post. I have done quite a bit of mods with m JLUR and it's been great. During this downtime, I installed a CB, and am picking up transmissions, but don't seem to get much back. The catch is - is it distance, my final messed up, people just ignoring?
I am using a firestick 4' mounted on my tire carrier. I know this isn't the best spot, and I'm mainly planning on this for offroad trips. I tuned my antenna and am getting an SWR of 1.5 of 1 and 1.4 on 40. Good enough, but not great.
My question is, without buying another CB to test this out, is anyone willing to help me test this out to check that my communications are running? I did talk to a trucker at one point, but haven't talked to anyone since making adjustments. I'm worried I screwed up something. Ground is good and tested with a meter.
