There's something not quite right with my mobile CB antenna

Today I was out playing radio on 40-metres, to be able to put that antenna on the car I had to remove the others.
When I came to fit the antennas back I noticed the CB antenna was not quite right.

Mmm...probably grubs turned into a ferrous fritillary.

I had the same problem Paul. I ordered a pack of different sizes from temu, £2.50

You nailed the SWR before Paul, and now it's all screwed up. 😂 Sorry the the dry sense of humour.

No need to apologise for the humour, it did bring a smile to my face

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Very odd, did someone need grub screws? 🤔

[@PaulMcGeeM0WNU]

the only conclusion I can come to is they've worked loose and fell out, I think it is possible to get replacements as I don't fancy buying another antenna unless of course the whip comes out completely

@@PaulMcGeeM0WNU Do what I did, just put in a threaded screw, if you find the size, you can get very short threaded screws that just stay clear of the body of the aerial, does not affect SWR, unless on very high frequency, but that is a lot higher than CB.
