CB question

[6point0damn2004]

I got my CB setup all installed. Went with a Cobra 29 LX. Got it installed everything is fine. Got it dialed in. When I hit the push to talk the screen comes up with "cb antenna warning" also when ya run the radio tests if says antenna mismatch. Where do I need to look to get the problem fixed?

Go to a cb shop and get the antenna matched. That should solve your problem. Should be able to find one at a truck stop somewhere

I have the same problem. My reasearch showed that the cobra's have a finicky adjustment in the back. You can either take it apart and turn the knob down a little or ignore it.
As long as you know the SWR is good than the light is no big deal ( or so i've read)

Never had that problem.
What antenna, how many feet of coax, what does the antenna mount look like and how is it grounded?

I get the Antenna warning but no issues

i have the same radio get the same warning.. but just cant seem to do anything with the radio at all.

Antenna mounted to the bed rail, grounded that way. 18' coax. 3' 5/8 wave firestik. Since im not the only one with the issue ill just see how it goes.

Weird. Should be a perfectly fine setup.

There's a local cb shop. Gonna have em set up the radio itself for me. :evil:
