midland 5001z
Can I hook up my CB radio without tuning it to the antenna?
So i just purchased a midland 5001z CB radio and a 35 inch K30 antenna. I will be hooking them up to my truck this afternoon. Will i be able to just install the CB into my truck, Then plug in the antenna and i’ll be all set? The antenna is going on the roof. I am reading articles about getting an SRW meter and tuning it with that or else my CB with get damaged…The closest CB shop that I know of is about 3 hours away. So what would be the risk of me just hooking up everything without tuning them? Will i be able to transmit and receive without tuning? Any help would be appreciated.
You can plug and go but it won’t be optimized but equally it won’t be damaged. Getting an SWR meter is a good idea so you can tweak the antenna for best performance. So basically, yes, you can install and use it as is but it may not be quite as good as it could be, or you may be lucky and it’s a perfect match when you plug it all together, that does happen occasionally but without an SWR meter you won’t know for sure. You can get some sort of idea of how things are going by how far the meter swings over when you push the button on the mike. If it swings well over / then you are probably OK. If it barely comes off the left hand end stop then “whoa!” you have a problem.
