    Hey SoCal tw! I am a travel nurse from Michigan and am working in Rancho Mirage for the next few months. On the road trip down, I bought an rld canopy topper, which means my old cb antenna location needed to be moved. I’ve got it all installed, does anyone in the area have a swr meter and the know-how to help tune my antenna? Alcohol + food provided.

    What CB do you have? Some (like my Cobra 29 LX) have a built in SWR meter. Also your antenna may be adjustable too.

    Alternatively stop by a Loves truck stop, some gave radio shops that can help you.
