Hey, I have a cobra 29 WX NW ST classic, and I really dont know how to tune my antenna with it. Please help.

@Mikegracie1 You will need the help of an SWR meter. I can't remember if that radio has a built in one. Most CB antennas will have some sort of adjustment screw or ring.

How's the SWR reading?

[FelixTheHouseFreak]

@larry40m At first the SWR was around 2:1 but surprisingly after lots off fiddling around I got it down flat.
