Default CB antenna

I had the CB antenna replaced the other day, old one broke off, Question is, Does the standing wave need to be set like the old antennas, like back in the day???

Yes, SWR must be set, as you changed something in the system, albeit just replaced, the OE parts are a little different than the replacement post....

Interesting article in American Iron Magazine (May issue) about replacing the stock Harley whip antennas on an Ultra with smaller and cleaner looking ones from J&M.
