I'm wondering who could tune my CB for their favourite case or 2 of beer?

To be honest... You can buy a meter and do it yourself for a case of beer or two. Its not harx at all and then you got another tool to collect dust.

NTF Communications, in the strip mall east of the Husky truck stop on Barlow and 32nd NE.

Antennas, radios, tuners, etc. Everything you need for CB, Ham, Commercial, FRS, etc.

I'm going to Road King tomorrow to switch the Fiberglass antenna  to a steel whip.  What time will you be there?

Well made it to RoadKing and got myself a whip antenna instead of the fiberglass and picked up an SWR meter, so I should be up and running tonight when I get some time.  Thanks everyone that has offered to help.

Hey "homeguy" if you are coming out on the JK run , can you bring the SWR with you, i have ben using it and nothing happened but i just replaced my antenna and it sounds like it gets way to strong of a signal.

Thanks allot

Anton

Those with jks, what are you using to mount your antennas and where did pick them up? Thought I'd see if there is a local seller of the rear tire mount sort before ordering one.

We picked ours up at RoadKing... it is the place to go for your cb stuff.  We have the Or-Fab rear tire carrier, and have a mount right on it.  Not sure where you'd put it on a stock bumper/tire carrier.  I didn't keep my stock bumper on long enough to find out.

Hey Anton,
