I installed my new cobra cb in my 1992 Cherokee. When I hooked up the SWR meter it was pegged all the way in the red reading 10 or higher on channels 1, 20, and 40. Also I used the built in SWR meter in the cb to verify that the New meter I bought was working and it also pegged in the red.
My cb setup consists of a new cobra cb (I can't remember the model no.), a new 3ft Firestik antennae with tuneable tip, and a Firestik roof mount kit with their recommended 18 ft. coax cable. Also there is no binding in the coax. All the excess is loose laid above the headliner. Anybody know why it reads so high. I'm new to the whole cb thing and could use the help before I have to pay someone to fix it. Thanks.
