I just purchased a cheap Cb. Trying to get it installed for the trails this weekend. I have a 4' firestick 2. Planning on a left rear bumper mount. Sticks up above my hardtop a few inches. I assume this will be fine for trail use. I was wondering if anyone knows how to tune it? I don't have a swr meter.

There are a couple of club members who have the meter, at the next meeting or club run just ask and I'm sure someone will help you out. Personally I just did what you did, install a cheap cobra with fire stick and it worked out pretty good. :)

Well I got it tuned and it does work pretty well. Now I need to peak it. It is a cobra 19 ultra III. It is only outputting 1.5 watts according to my swr/watt meter I purchased. I'd like to do it myself. Trying to figure out which pots to turn. I'd just like to take it up to the legal limit of 4 watts. Not trying to reach outter space but I would like a little more power for penetrating the woods. I may end up taking it to the guy at hoods. Hopefully I can figure it out though
