[QUOTE="WesWill, post: 2485115, member: 850651"] I have a firestik II antenna with it mounted to the bed of my pickup with half of a mirror mount. I tuned it once i first got it, but i had to take my antennas off once to put it in a garage, do i need to tune it again? the second thing is that i can be 5-6 miles away from our local grain elevator and hear them talking, but when im out coyote huntin with my friend, i cant hear him from 1.5 miles away. I thought about a grounding issue but then i wouldnt be able to hear anyone, or talk to them either. My cable is fine, and my squelch is right above the interference noise. my volume is fine too. we can talk when we are right next to each other though. This is weird because when i first got it, i couldnt hear people right beside me but farther away. Any suggestions? Is it my friends CB instead? I need help.
