mines on a switched live off the stereo feed, they don't get used at the same time so no problems ( the stereo wouldnt be fitted if it was up to me )

we will sort a time for me to nip up, wire it direct to my battery for now and just plug the aerial in

Yes Venn that's right it does.

Cheers Geggs, that's great mate 👍

One thing I'm gutted about! The stereo slot is 54mm depth my unit is 60mm  I think the jigsaw will be shaving 6mm off my fascia if this CB DOES actually work      

[CDJ]

I know the cb all lights up as if it works because on its listing the pictures showed all the lights on, however, receiving and transmitting may be different storey  

Seeing Geggs comment of shouting at me through back door makes me wonder  

[CDJ]

Well a little update...

I casually fitted my CB to test if it worked...all seems ok, I had what sounded like Russians on ch1 and some lady who sounded French on ch3 giving what sounded like instructions out...she sounded bloody professional haha

I took an inch of the antenna to get my SWR readings too,

Ch1    1.3
Ch40  1.7

👆But that was with out my quick disconnect(3.5"), with it the figures were

Ch1     1.5
Ch40   2

I think I may need to lob off about 5-6" on my springer to get the SWR readings equal as 3.5" lobbed off gets me a better reading...

On the stingers does that little end cap pull off? I've cut from the bottom but if I do decide to go the 5-6" off it, as the stinger is tapered I don't want it to be too thin at the coil end  

Until I get my 4 spot/floods on the roof bar I won't as they may affect readings when installed??

Evening chaps!!

just wondering if i could kind of hijack this! I've got a cb fitted and an ariel that has a mount off the spare wheel, i have and SWR meter and it's giving me a reading of about 2.5, i am a real newbie to this just wondering if you guys could give me any advise please?

Cheers

Be honest everyone...what do you think about my cb set up??

I tried to put it in the stereo slot but the cb is actually 2" too deep and 10mm to tall, it stuck out proud that much I wouldn't of been able to select 4llc  

I need to paint my brackets black and screw in my MIC holder...overall, you reckon it's *beep* or what? It's kind of growing on me but I just don't know

They defo need a bit of black on them brackets don't they  

Gutted when I tried putting it in the din slot...there was no way it was going to fit at least this way it haven't had to gut anything, I've fitted my mic bracket just to the left of the digi clock

Maybe in the 80s it was but not anymore compared to high end units out today.

To be honest, I like the vintage look of it plus it lights up the same colours as the rest of my dash lights(yellowy orange lol).  I don't fancy putting a modern day unit with neon backlighting, I'm trying to keep it all looking old inside WIERD maybe   each to their own I suppose...I like some of the new ones they look smart but I don't fancy the inside of my truck looking like a polished  T U R D  

Just painted them brackets too, made a huge difference...it's all wired up now too, just need to finally do some hiding of the coax from my roof in to my truck    I'll get there in the end

It is growing on me

It doesnt look out of place and if it works it works, i'm just a bit paranoid about having things on show.
