Help: Firestik

[bikerjohn]

Anyone useing a firestick for fm antenna?

Called the marshal mod I hook it up briefly an it didn't see to picking up any stations

 

Is there something i missed???

Well, I am but mine is the Firstick FM antenna. From what I've read though, even the CB version should work fine. I think you have a wiring issue somewhere. Did you run a cable all the way to the front or cut and splice? I cut and spliced when I did mine but it still worked fine. I'm thinking if you did it that way though, maybe you didn't get the connector right.

He might have the squelch cranked up to max???

Ummmm, not sure but I think John is talking about FM stations Jack...

Yes, but I can also se what Jack may be saying. If the squelch is set too LOW....it may be putting the CB in receive mode all the time and not allowing the radio to play. Not sure that is what he meant but thinking it may be.
