I installed the following in my 100 series
1) cobra 75 wx st
2) firering I just checked my order. I got the MU-r18 Amazon.com: Firestik Antenna FireStik MU8R18 18-Foot Single Antenna Coaxial Cable: Electronics
There's another one that's K-8r8 Amazon.com: FireStik K-8R18 18 foot Fire-Flex coax cable with Fire-Ring: Electronics
What is the difference between the 2?
3) antenna spring Amazon.com: Firestik SS-3H Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Antenna Spring: Automotive
4) labrak mount
I got a SWR meter and my readings are high. Ch 1 and 40.
When I flip the switch the needle drops from the end down to 3.
What am I doing wrong here? I ran power for the CB to the cigarette lighter. I grounded the ground wire on the unit to a screw by the shifter. The box for the CB is just sitting under the center console not bolted down.
Am I using the meter incorrectly? Did I miss something in the installation?
Thanks
