I need a little help assessing whats up with my CB setup. I currently have a Uniden Pro 520xl connected to a 2 ft Firestick antenna on a Yodateq rear mount just above the rear right taillight. I ran it tuned for a long time (not the best idea) with a 4ft Wilson flex. Once that one broke I moved to the smaller antenna since this is my DD and decided to actually tune it.
The issue: Whenever I go to tune it, I get a SWR reading well over 3 for channels 1 & 40.
I feel like I've checked over the system and everything is connected properly and grounded. Could the radio itself be the issue?
(Before it is said: yes Ham is in my future, just don't have the time for it right now. )
