HD CB unit
I have an Ultra Classic with stock HD audio system with CB radio. I recently replaced the stock antennas with shorty ones. I seem to be able to transmit OK with the CB...however, I cannot receive if I am more than 50 feet away. Do I need to "calibrate" my unit for the short antennas...or what else should I do?
Thanks for your help!

because you changed it to the shorty, the wavelengths changed with it. You'll need to get your hands on an SWR meter and tune the antenna back to the CB module although I understand not many have had much success in doing so.
Here's a good post on the exact same thing...
