Have to be careful if you run coax through top of door. Water will follow coax cable inside truck. Best to go under truck and run through rubber grommet in floor
I purchased the Cobra Lil Wil 305-308 antenna based off of your review only to discover that the SWR Meter readings are telling me that I need a longer antenna on my COBRA 29 LTD Classic. I have the antenna extended out as far as I can go using the set screw. Any thoughts on how to correct this without purchasing a new antenna. I am a novice at all of this CB stuff and have used youtube to figure everything out. Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
try a longer cable this antenna may require 12-18 foot of cable. don't coil the cable make sure you run it in a way that keeps it from crossing over itself. This sucks I know I had to do it to get a good match I did get a 1to1 match
I despise listening to AI spew out specifications with zero personal experience using the products. I just click on past them normally except for this rant.
this was a top ten???? whoever made this knows NOTHING about CB'S!!! the lil will is the #1??? it is the worst antenna out there!!!! it is only 36 inches tall and gets 3 to 4 miles range MAX.... the Wilson 1000 is 60 inches tall and generally gets up to 10 miles range but that's not #1???? they didn't even mention the Tram 3500 which is probably the best or 2nd best antenna out there! they also did not mention the K-40???? really this is a total rip off and a scam to lie to people about what's a good CB antenna.

I like the 102 inch whip or Wilson 5000 for number 1
I run a wilson trucker 2000, works perfect.
Or a hustler HQ-27, been driving truck for 20 years and the HQ-27 is best bang for your buck
I really hate these synthetic voice commentaries. Please use A REAL PERSON,
Agreed. Can't watch it. Even if it were a real person, this type of 'tv voice' has got to go. Just be a normal human... just... human. 😆

@@roberttomanthereal1770 Okay, I will try that. Thank you.
I use a Wilson 5000 on my SUV I love them this is my second one
What is the difference between the 300 watt and the 2000 or 5000 watt handling capacity!
Lil will has a matching circuit board in the base above the magnet it sucks, go w a 1000 or 5000 or sirio 5000
Or just get a full quarter wave 102" whip, fiberglass antennas suck whack em on a limb and it breaks the wire where it soldered down at bottom
Super robot reading this “Midland has been a name in cv radio since one thousand nine hundred seventy two”
Lol,I wondered how a human would rhyme pro stick with bra stick.

What's wrong... couldn't find a human to narrate?
That midland is is a wast of money it flew of my truck going down the highway
Since most pickup trucks are aluminum now this is a waste of time.
