Alright guys, I don't know what the hell I'm doing wrong with the CB install on my '77 GMC. and I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I figured I'd give it a try. The radio is a Cobra 29 LX (I know, not a great radio...but free!). Worked fine in my buddy's Mack cement mixer before he upgraded. I have a 5ft Firestik 2 antenna with a 4" stainless spring and a Firering RG58 cable. The antenna is mounted about 12-18" behind the cab, right through the driver's side bed rail. Radio is chassis grounded. I ran an extra ground from the bed to the frame as well. I can't get the SWR down under 3 no matter what I do and it is driving me nuts! I've read and tried a bunch of things on the internet to lower it to a reasonable level, nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get this truck set up for the Oregon Gambler 500 in July.

Hello! I just installed a 1977 GM factory AC Delco AM / FM / CB combo radio in my classic car (cool option !) and the CB displays just channel 0. Does anyone here know if that indicates an antenna tuning issue or something else? I'm using a vintage "Secret Sam" rear window antenna which is probably as weak as they come, but the whole kit is more just for fun than serious use. I don't have the radio manual.
