cobra cb radio antenna
How can i fix poor CB radio reception?
i just got a new Cobra 19DX IV CB radio installed with the antenna and all the good stuff. I tried getting on the air with my friend and he said he could hear me perfectly but on the other hand i couldn’t hear him worth a darn. All i could hear was static and mumbles. It doesn’t matter how close we get or how far we get the reception is just terrible. Is there anything i need to get or check out? thanks, matt
Antenna Antenna Antenna!!! The antenna is the key. If you got one of those “package” deals with radio and antenna… Throw away the antenna. They are usually junk. Invest in a good antenna and have the swr checked and set if needed.
I would suggest a Wilson 1000 (my preference) or a k-40
Also make sure you have a good ground on your radio. If you are using a Cigarette lighter plug or have it grounded wrong, you could get “Engine Noise” that will cause static and poor receive.
Also, this radio has a “RF GAIN” knob. Make sure it is all the way up (clockwise)
