Sanded off the powder coat
Worked like a charm
One week of troubleshooting only to find the easiest solution
Getting 1-1.5 SWR all channels and i haven’t even tuned it yet ,
Thank you for your help !
Ok i understand ,
I watched a few videos that helped me,
And the upper half with double coupling nut positive and below the mount is grounded ,
My tests show the upper half with continuity also so that is a big problem !
2 things , i think i need to move the ground to under the bracket where you...
Looks similar , i don’t see grounding cable ? Did you attach the grounding cable to the bolts under hood that hold bracket and then run to body ground?
New unit arrived and it didn’t work..
Took it to an auto electronic shop and he said the antenna has center and outside running well with no grounding issues ,
He suggested a new base unit that the units may all be faulty (uniden cx760 off-road)
I don’t know what to do at this point and I’m very...
I was mimicking your rig basically ,
Would love to see where you grounded yours, since proven correct I’ll move mine to that exact location
Wish they made these grounding straps longer , but i think maybe hopefully i found a solution!
Tha k you Phil!
I called uniden and it looks like i had a faulty mic upon delivery so i have another on the way,
With that said, i wonder if i somehow fried the unit by trying to use it when not properly grounded !
I grabbed my multimeter , which i have never used before , and sure enough there...
Radio fully installed ,
SWR reading is slightly over 3 for all channels , and when i scab it just scans through all 40 channels and doesn’t stop or pick up anything
I have grounding strap (see pics) running from between ditch mount and coax ring cable to where i think is best ground option near...
Went with the uniden off-road , as a first time CB owner , this was a super simple and clean install , box mounted under passenger seat (i used Velcro that sticks perfect to the carpet so no need for any mounting ), wiring through passenger firewall grommet, ran underneath the center console so...
I found the rough country directions ,
Seems like a pain, is there no way to remove the two 21mm bolts without removing all of the bumper they look pretty accessible?
Install brackets first then maneuver the light bar in between them and secure with the retainer screws?
Added some low income pod lights with the FRL brackets ,
Installed them with quick connects using the trigger and trigger accessories ,
Really love this set up
Also i love the fender entry and i can see easily how that works , just unsure of how you got inside the door frame to get into truck do you mind explaining that process?
gonna use the 30 amp trigger port to run main power through firewall or rear passenger grommet, I’m assuming the wire you...
Honestly i thought about it
I have the a pillar dual Z brackets
I saw your CB one and i love it
Is that grounded to something? Is there a stud mount between the ring coax and the antenna on the pod bracket?
Was thinking of doing that and using the other side for ham
I have fallen into the rabbit hole..
Help me get out
Looking at a few options
Love the bearcat 980 SSB as a CB option
The TH-9000 for ham
Also like the uniden CB/police scanner duo
Between the three i still have so many questions
If going ham, which frequency is used most? UHF/ VHF/ dual...
