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.
