James, how big a piece do you actually need? I've got several strips of various lengths but only about 300mm wide. If that's wide enough then call here before the Yonderman on Saturday and pick a bit to suit. Got some ally plate that's wider if 300mm not enough.

None of these aerial mount problems for me, my CB is a handheld job like a big walky talky. Only problem is, the range is measured in feet rather than miles:eek:

Thanks Ian, I may take you up on that, 30mm would be plenty I think, it needs to be about 250mm in length and 30mm wide, just long enough to span 2 roof rack rails and to mount an aerial on.

My temp solution is with limited success, all I can hear is static!

Having got 50 mm and 500 mm confused... did you measure twice? :p
 
Have you earthed the aerial? Or turned the squelch up:D

Well there is no static now I have turned the squelch up, but neither is there talking! Maybe no one has anything to say!

I have an SWR meter and whilst it is a bit high on channel 1, it's not too bad.

Thanks Pagin. I was being lazy and copying posts.... :eek:
 
That's alright, I would have done too, I mainly wanted the Will bit!!! :lol:

Hey, I think it is running now! It was bloody cold today trying to find what the problem was, I'm still not warm...

Oh, and I think my free CB is the problem, so I think I too will have a trip to Maplins on Friday
 
It's connected to earth, that would work wouldn't it?



It says online that if the groundplane is bad you cant get a decent SWR reading, and mine is ok.

Just get a new one, that always works! :p

Mine is fitted and ready to rock now, though i don't have an SWR meter, so kinda just plug and pray! :lol:
