I’m just curious what would happen if I hooked a amplifier to my cobra 29 I got a Wilson 5 foot fiberglass antenna silver loaded and it’s grounded on the side of the house I just want to extend my range could I amplify it or is it to small to do anything with
So I have been tinkering with cb radios for about a year now I started with a cobra 19 mini and got it all hooked up with a fairly decent antenna and I have yet to hear anybody on my cb it really pisses me off and I kinda gave up on the whole thing until last night I went to a auction and got this older cobra 29ltd classic for 6 dollars I just would like to know if someone could help me figure out setting it up or what I would need to have a successful reliable cb setup in my pick up truck I have watched countless videos on the swr setup and can’t seem to get it right due to the swr meter not going all the way to the right like everybody else’s all I ever get is static and when someone is talking I have to have the gain turned all the way down it sounds like gibberish I can’t hear over the loud static can someone help me get started?
