I just got one of these today and an antennae. I hooked everything up but have not tuned the antennae with a meter yet. The antenna is a roof top magnetically mounted model approximately 4 foot. I have the antennae mounted behind my roof basket. I can't put it in the center b/c of my spare. Now this model comes with a small box that the cord on the handheld CB plugs in to. To try and make things as clean as possible...I slipped the box in behind my center console (It's not screwed to the firewall or the tranny tunnel). When I turned the CB on, I was able to hear a few guys for a second but not much. I'm about 25 miles from Interstate and I'm up in the mountains at 9000 feet. Should I be concerned? How far would a typical setup be able to transmit? Thanks.
