So a few days ago I got my Midland 1001Z radio... I have a magnetic mount antenna I am using, and I already had the antenna tuned to the spot on the pickup. I plugged the antenna into the radio, and installed the radio, turned it on, and this weekend I drove all around Omaha and couldn't get any chatter. Do I need to get someone with a SWR meter and hook it up?
I met up with a friend who had the same radio also, but he didn't have an antenna because it broke off, and he could talk to me (it was pretty quiet though) but he couldn't hear me when I talked.
Thoughts/Ideas?
