Unable to get this antenna matched. Started at 22.9 ft and slowly shortened. Match never gets below 3
Shortened radials from 105 to 103. Nope
Started at shortest length and worked my way up...nope.
Bought a second new match meter hoping the first new one was defective....nope
Tested coax for shorts, (its brand new rg8x)....nope

Using a little cobra 4 watt radio or antenna matching. No way Im putting my new big shiny radio on until matched!
The little cobra 40 channel is new also.
Posted pics of antenna build for comments....didn't fix it.

Sooo......any help I can get here is appreciated. I kind of made the mistake of asking for help on ham forums. I guess they done care for cb enthusiast.
