What is the antenna model you have?Finally got a chance to install the WAL CB Bar. I was able to flip it for a little more head room and ran the wires through the bar for a clean look. Also installed the antenna mount. Love these WAL parts!

I apologize for not seeing this sooner. You cannot use a VHF no ground plane antenna as it is only made for GMRS, HAM or race radios.@wayoflife
My friend has a 4xe and we are unable to get a food ground. In you video you say we could use this:
VHF No Ground Plane Antenna
NMO Style Base
I contacted the antenna manufacturer since the operating band if far from CB band. They responded that the antenna won't work with CB bands.
Do you think they are wrong and would work?
Thanks.
Oh I see.I apologize for not seeing this sooner. You cannot use a VHF no ground plane antenna as it is only made for GMRS, HAM or race radios.
Have you made sure that the nylon washer on your antenna mount has the step part in the center sitting in the mounting hole?
Sorry for the late reply! It's a Laird Technologies B1442NS 144-174 MHz 2.5dB 1/2 Wave NGP Antenna - ChromeWhat is the antenna model you have?
Bummer about the radio being bad but glad you were able to find the problem! Thanks for the update.Finally found the issue! The CB unit itself. Brand new Cobra CB that was defective!
