Oh yes Magnum,

I'm not sure the antenna was correctly tuned. I just took it out of
the package and installed it on top of the car.

Oh god.... get yourself a SWR meter man and give it a good checking out. You
might even have the inner and outer wires of the co-ax shorting out in the
PL259 plug. Unless its a top tuned Firestik you might need to cut bits off
it to SWR it in... might be a good idea to read up about that though before
attempting it... Have you tried powering up the Cobra on another setup?

Graham
