Explain this, then... CB radio in my Peterbilt, with a mirror mounted
Hustler HQ-27 on the driver's side.. 6 feet of coax shows a 1:1 on 19,
1.1:1 on 1, and 1.1:1 on 40... 12 feet of coax shows the same readings...
18 feet of coax shows.. guess what? the SAME RESULTS.

Nobody said it would be any different ,go back and read my post. I was very
clear on why manufactureers say to use 18 ft and why you do not have to.

UNLESS SOMETHING IS FUBAR CHANGING COAX LENGTH DOES NOT CHANGE SWR. JUST THE
IMPEDANCE THE RADIO SEES.SWR IS DETERMINED SOLEY BY THE IMPEDANCE OF THE
ANTENNA AND THE IMPEDANCE OF THE TRANSMISSION LINE.
YOUR STATEMENT PROVES NOTHING.

IF something is FUBAR making it read right by changing coax length will not
fix it.
You just sound like another ham that likes to hang around the CB group so
they can sound important. Nobody even made the claims you are refuting.

Take your angst and put it somewhere else.. your comments don't even
justify a reply..

Just remember this, I am a HAM, but I'll always be a CBer, as well. If
I see an opportunity to help, I'll take it. Methinks you could stand
to take some of your own advice and go back and read the posts made.

Wait ! Everybody cool your jets !!!! We finally get a legit
rec.radio.cb thread complete with information and passionate
beliefs.

It doesn't get any better than that. What more can one ask for?
More Dougay trash?

Amen.

The only FUBAR is your satements. If you have a matched antenna, and
use a 1/2 wave of coax, you can use any coax impedance you want. Take
a 50 ohm antenna, feed it with a 1/2 wave of 500 ohm coax, the radio
will still see a 50 ohm antenna.
