We once ada a similar problem to your cb problem. We eventually sorted it by getting the correct mounting connections and using swr meter. But with the mag mount we moved it around and swr'd it. Best place on a vehicle is in centre of length and width. Probly know this already tho eh ? :?:
Yeah, probly. The magmount is right in the middle of metal part of the roof on the Troll. I have a SWR meter and the SWR on Channel 8 is about 1.3, which is fine. It shows max signal strength on transmit on the CB display, but you cannot hear voice on another vehicle just a couple of feet away.
I think the CB is goosed. It's only a few weeks old - and I tried to use it in anger for the first time last Friday when I went laning in Yorkshire with some friends from Manchester GLASS. I don't think there'll be a problem getting it swapped under warranty.
