    Installed my own CB.....

    Yeah I know, and according to the swr I'm good, but I'm getting the warning. Can't tell if I'm high or low on the antenna because the swr reads the same really in both channels. Maybe the external swr meter will tell me the real story. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (CNA 3.2 , Popcorn 11.6, TWRP...

    Installed my own CB.....

    Well wouldn't you know it. Took out the whole right side and the T adapter, now I can't get it to tune. Keep getting the antenna warning. I'm not trusting this built in meter though, it doesn't feel like it's reading properly. Always has just 3 lines lit up, implying a really low reading. So...

    Installed my own CB.....

    I'm going to switch to just one. I didn't use co phase so I'm not going to spend any more money trying to go to a good dual setup. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (CNA 3.2 , Popcorn 11.6, TWRP 2.2)

    Installed my own CB.....

    There's no damage. The warning is while testing the single right antenna. The one I'm using is working properly, just not full output range. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (CNA 3.2 , Popcorn 11.6, TWRP 2.2)

    Installed my own CB.....

    With all of that said, which I do understand completely, shouldn't I still be able to get my right antenna tuned properly when it is hooked up by itself? Is the T adapter an issue? Or is it the fact that I have both coax cables hooked in, even though I don't have both antennas hooked in at the...

    Installed my own CB.....

    I am thinking about going to one, but only if I just can't get the other to work. And I already have Sirius Premiere, so I'm good there :) I tightened them to where I thought the bolts were bending, but I will double check that. And yes it is the color changing face. I did calibrate...

    Installed my own CB.....

    So I installed my own CB. I used mirror mounts, then ran a 9' mini 8 (if I remember right) cable from the mounts, inside (hidden beautifully I might add), connected each end into a "T" adapter, and just hooked the male end of the adapter right into the CB. Now, the problem is I can get the...

    Well you have answered all my questions. I now know exactly what I'm going to do. And that makes me happy. I like to be happy. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (AOKP M6 , Leankernel 3.9.0 exp4, 4.0.4 Radios, Inverted Gapps, TWRP 2.2 Recovery)

    Best/most logical apu/inverter/charging solution

    Auto correct got me and now I'm not even sure what those words were even supposed to be. But at any rate, you still answered the question. So, i would need a charger as well. Does having a charger, a switch, and an inverter seem like overkill? Can all three be wired together without an issue...

    One thing I forgot to ask with that switch. Does it tour pet to the batteries to charge them via either shore or generator when those are the sources of power? Or do I need yet another device? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (AOKP M6 , Leankernel 3.10.0, 4.0.4 Radios, Inverted Gapps, TWRP 2.2...

    Turtle that seems like exactly what I will need actually! But I'm not sure if I'm detecting your sarcasm correctly. Are you implying with your previous post that this three way switch is not the way to go, or that it's fine, just don't keep using the method of me having to unplug outlets from...

    Best/most logical apu/inverter/charging solution

    Turtle, do you get what I'm trying to say in my original post? Do you have a thought or a solution you think would be easiest/cheapest to implement keeping my inverter, or do I need to man up and just get the all-in-one inverter/charger? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (AOKP M6 , Leankernel...

    Best/most logical apu/inverter/charging solution

    I'm in a straight truck, but I know electrical equipment doesn't care what type of vehicle I'm in. But that isn't the setup I am looking for. I definitely don't want a battery separator. My APU should definitely charge batteries, but I also want my shore power to do that when it's an option...

    Power Inverters

    No, I'm not. I have 3 12v batteries. They are wired together from positive to positive. Negative to negative. So what does that give me? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (AOKP M6 , Leankernel 3.10.0, 4.0.4 Radios, Inverted Gapps, TWRP 2.2 Recovery)

    Best/most logical apu/inverter/charging solution

    Alright, currently I have just a standard 1500w inverter. My outlets in the truck split, and one connection plugs into the front of the inverter, and the other to the shore power plug controlled from the outside plug. So, when I'm plugged in, I have to unplug the connection in the inverter...

    Power Inverters

    Our trucks are 24v systems. So do we need a 24v inverter/charger, or will the 12v options be just fine? Sent from my Galaxy Nexus! (AOKP M6 , Leankernel 3.10.0, 4.0.4 Radios, Inverted Gapps, TWRP 2.2 Recovery)

    headset (bluetooth)

    Hands down the Jawbone Era. Noise canceling is unbeatable, and it can do everything from gps audio through the headset, to answering more than one phone. The best part, unlike these truck stop headsets, is that it is an in ear headset, which seals off sound so you can hear better, and it is...
