I had my Cobra 75 installed and they apparently didn't do it correctly.
I used the car stereo shop that did my sound system on 2 cars, they did a great job on both cars.
So anyway, they told me they new what they were doing. When I picked it up, they had the mic mounted where I wanted, but they had stuck the SWR meter that came with the kit to the side of the center console near the shifter (automatic transmision).
So I briefly tried to adjust the tuning with the SWR meter, and will try again tomorrow. I read the CB thread and printed out the instructions.
Main question: There is pretty much constant static. Should there only be sound on the CB if someone is talking? I was able to hear some talking on one of the channels, but the static is pretty much constant.
I'm going to take it back to the stereo shop tomorrow, just trying to get an idea of what it should be like when it's correct.
Question #2:
Should the CB work fine with the SWR meter connected? Or do I need to tune with the SWR meter, then disconnect it and try?
