I just purchased the Stryker SR-A10 antenna, and it went together exactly as I was hoping!! Just enough Coaxial Cable to reach from the magnet mount to my CB.
I have tuned it through the SWR meter on my radio, but I still want to tune it with my external SWR meter, just in case. With my radio, I got a reading of just under 1.5. The only issue that I am having, is, I can hear CBer's with no issues, but NO ONE wants to reply back, and I am guessing that the ones I am hearing have a base station and cannot hear me, because they live beyond the range of my antenna, or NO ONE on I-90 uses a CB (truckers, etc). UGH, very frustrating!!! I live near I-90 (within a few miles) and the Pilot/Flying J/Exon truck stop/gas station on Hwy 287. Now, yes, we live behind a bunch of hills at our home where I was testing it from, but I am receiving a better signal than I had previously with my old antenna.
From my pictures, if anyone notices anything that may work better, please don't hesitate to reply.
In the picture's below, I highly recommend Right Channel Radios!!!!
Thank you, Pat for all of the help you gave me,
Jay
My handle is one of many that I have, but, I am using Schimmer now. I am usually on Ch. 19.
