Is there anyone in Metro Boston north that has a SWR-meter that can help me tune a CB Firestik antenna? It would be greatly appreciated. Efforts could be rewarded with .22 lr ![[shocked]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/007.gif "Shocked [shocked]")

Damn. If you had posted this a few months back I coulda helped you out. I just gave away my box of equipment to a buddy. Had SWR meters, 2 Galaxy's, mics, a 75w kicker. After I called it quits on Bos-NY linehaul, I stopped running a radio. IGood luck.
Bill,
I have a tuned Wilson 1000 on the truck now. It is magnetic-mount as I do not use it all that often. I can't see throwing away a good radio so I was just going to mount the firestik. I know that I will lose transmitting distance but for my near truck to truck use that shouldn't be a problem.
The biggest problem is that in the city the Wilson is too high and the firestik has a quick disconnect for all the appointments I have been going to that have garage parking in Boston. I try to park on the street when I can but that isn't always possible.
If I was north of the state line I would keep it and suffer through.
Still looking.
Thanks.
