Yes it's normal but you also need to swr your setup as a poor swr can damage your cb. There is a good thread on LRUK in the electronics/ice section.
 
il have to get one of those swr meter thingys then , it said on the pack the earial was already swr'd. load of old maplins rubbish it must have bin.
 
ah dint see how it can be swr'd ,,am sure they need to be adjusted to their surroundings..i.e. done on yer veeehickeeel

yeah , thats what i reckoned , all i need to do is open the wee grub screw and lift or lower the whip to set it yeah?
i havent used one since the 80's , lots of peeps chatting back then , is it still as busy nowadays , wot with people chattin all over tinterweb and all?

you may be disappointed only people I seem to pick up are foul-mouthed morons or idiots playing music and jamming the airwaaves with crap rave/ house music.
