    Ok, so I am continuing to work on my radio. I changed my antenna to a Firestik, which required me to upgrade from the medium spring to heavy duty spring.

    Spring:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00042LC9M/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Antenna:
    $34 Firestik (FS-3BK) Black 3' 650W Tunable Tip CB Antenna
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WYYP14/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    The antenna immediately reduced my SWR. Now i just need to get it tuned correctly, out of the box I had good numbers 1.0 at channel 1, 1.1 at channel 20 and 1.3 at channel 40. Unfortunitly after hitting the garage door a couple times my tuning is off.

    I also added a mix 31 fair-rite to help with the brake noise and it did greatly reduce the noise.

    The firestik antenna and fair rite helped a lot. The noise never completely went away though. I think another mounting location would work better. Where I had it it was directly over the brake cylinder which did not help.
