| Hi Motophysco (sorry no personal), welcome to the CTDX group. Sorry can't answer your question as have no idea where in the UK you are, your swr is usable so no issues there. 73s Steve. | |

| Hello Motophysco welcome to the forum,
The CRT mini is putting out the same four watts of RF as any other C.B. radio so my guess is there is no one in range of you when you have been on.
Is the springer one of the small ones available if so I suspect that's probably the problem. I would recommend nothing much under a full quarter wave, something like a Sirio 4000 or Wilson 1000 or similar.
73's Gary. | |
