HI and thank yo for the clarity, I do have a question though. I have a Sirio Fighter 5000. Ay nd I notice that I when I spilt the two main parts, apart I still have Continuity between the Centre pint and outer ring, (Would be the threaded part of the antennae fixing point to the 259 Mag mount. The thing I have trouble with is that this is a brand new anttane and seams faulty. Is that correct. Cneture pin is / seams to be making contact to the other threaded ring.... Cheers Nico
I like your video. Is there anyway to do this with a glass mounted antenna? I'm thinking the only way is with an SWR meter since the ground method you demonstrated will end at the coupling box.
When I check continuity on my antenna, there is continuity from the frame of the truck to the bottom connector ( 👍) but when I check on the bottom of the antenna shaft there is also continuity ( 👎), so now I disconnect the coax from the cb radio and recheck and it's all good.... something wrong with the radio then?
to easy for that type mount. What about a magnetic mount, I cant find a damn thing on testing those. Is the center or the threads shorted to the metal whip? OFF the car. I dont want to mount a bad one.
Very informative video!! Super helpful for beginners. Keep 'em coming!! Greetings from Montreal!
Btw: I just subscribed!!
I'll be testing today and grounding properly. I'm using a mobile Viking as a homebase.
Thank you!! Very helpful!!
Yes very informative video. I think I might have a bad ground and need to work on it. I can receive but not transmit. :(
Great video !
What about the Firestick fire ring coax cable? Can you explain how to check them as well? Thank you.
Pro tip: watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Marvin Tadeo Yup, have been using flixzone for since november myself :)
Mine on top saying 0.5 and 0.0 on bottom side have ground wire in between metal bracket and body

My swr on channel 1 and 40 is at 1 and half and lower on 20 but when i push the mic i get cb warning can you tell me how to fix this please
I’ve been way over tighten studs..
Breaking that habit
How do you check the ground on a magnetic base antenna ?

But what do you have the multimeter selected to? Ohms? 20k? 200k?
He said 20K
@@DavidFairbanks um... no. It's Ohms.
@@GF_Burke HE LITERALLY SAID "I SET IT TO THE 20K OHM SETTING" in the video. Clean the shit out of your ears.
Lmao!!!!
Its alot easier with a couple alligator clips.
Let's see 50 ohms between center pin and radiating portion of the antenna.
