most everyone that had a cb now has a cell phone cb no longer needed
Always thinking my CB should perform better I've asked for service from time to time.
I have both dual antennas and single mag mount installed. (on different pickups)
On the dual mount I had it looked at a few years back by a "CB shop". They added a ground wire from the frame where the antennas were mounted to the pickup frame. (Did nothing to help) That frame was already grounded as the marker lights on it would prove.
I had the mag mount pickup at Walcott and all they did was sell me a "better" antenna. Arguably the performance was somewhat better.
Earlier on this thread "antenna matching' was mentioned. What does that entail and where can one find a shop sophisticated enough to do that?
Also once I had an amp for receive and xmit. It took some change internal to the radio to allow it to work. That combination lasted for about a year and the radio quit altogether.
I really just want the best I can get for hiway travel.
BTW,, I do not "chatter" on the radio. I'm so glad the craze of the late 70's has passed and the 4whlrs are no longer on the air pretending to be Big Trucks.
