I have a Uniden xl510 radio the P.O. had installed. It had a broken ball mount on the right rear corner. I removed it and put a Firestik MK-J4R fender mount kit and a Firestik II FS2-B 5/8 Wave 300 Watts TUNABLE TIP CB Radio Antenna. I am in the process of testing it.
I have a great ground, but if I test for continuity between the mount and the antenna tip I get a reading of 2.74 ohms. I shouldn't get a reading - correct?
I then checked between the antenna tip and battery ground with the same 2.7 ohms. It has the FireRing coax connection.
I have carefully checked to make sure the antenna is mounted correctly and the plastic is installed fully into the base mount.
I also have a Wilson Silverlead antenna and get the same reading with it installed. Am I good or do I have a grounding problem?
