I was looking up what can be wrong with a cb antenna to cause a super high swr......im beginning to think ive had the nut on wrong for like 5 years now....

But my midland 75 would test pretty well but it would also change depending on how i held it
Can you post a link on how the nut is supposed to go?

that's great thank you. saving this pic for future references
Yeah this really helped to know how it all connects electrically. I think i ended up with things wrong cause thats what gave me the best result bit when it was correct the center post touched the bracket as it went through. So i drilled the hole out while i was at it and everything is great now.

No problem. I wish i had that diagram when i first installed everything. I found the old thread from 2014 where i was having the same issue.

I have been wondering this why is mig and tig welding the preferred method these days? Arc welding has been around for who knows how long but everyone turns their nose up at it anymore.

Reminder. If you mount your antenna to the swing arm, make sure and run a dedicated ground cable to the body. You won't get enough ground contact with just the swing arm. I attached an 18ga wire from my antenna mount, tan it with the coax underneath the truck and used a stinger to attach it to the bottom of the tub.

I dont wanna go on site today. 40 minutes away to make a change that'll take like 1 minute. Might make another change but want to run it by my boss first.
