I just purchased a Cobra75 WXST CB and an SB300 Remote Speaker. I purchased a splitter to use my existing SS 31" radio power antenna. The hookup looks straight forward but I have to get an SWR meter to adust my signal. My questions are: what SWR signal should I try to obtain, is the splitter the best way to go vs a CB antenna and how do you adjust the splitter adusting screw for the radio (what do I want to achieve with the radio). If I have to use a CB antenna, I would like to use one as short as possible mounted on my roll bar (whom makes a good one and what length). My truck is driven to cruise nights, shows, events, etc. and I do not need extreme range, just like to talk to people about what is ahead on the highway, talk to others going to the events, etc. Thank you for the help.

 

any thing below 2:0 is ok best would be under 1:5 search for swr meter as for the cb antenna id go with a dedicated one with good wireing maybe go wit a wilson little will magnet mount and stick it on the roof
