Installing CB in '08 Peterbuilt
Have a question about installing a CB in the new company truck. It is an '08 Peterbuilt, and it is pre-wired for a CB and has twin antenna's. The factory wires in the cab have an actual plug/socket (female). The new CB doesn't have a plug/socket, just the leads. The question is, do I just cut the plug off the factory wires and butt-connect the wires, or should I try and find the correct male plug and make it "right"?
Also, the CB being installed is a Uniden 520pro (I think that is what the box said). The directions said the SWR shouldn't be more than a reading of 2.1. What the heck is that, and how important is this? There is no dial or gauge on the CB, or is there something missing. Yes, it is a new, in box, CB. I installed a Uniden 510 in my personal truck, turned it on, and everything worked fine. Another driver told me I could blow out the antenna's and/or CB itself without the right reading.
Thanks guys, I could use the insight and education.
