Does this antenna come with tuning instructions?

Yes but I couldn't get it to tune other than 2 meters. I finally threw it in the garage and bought the diamond antenna. I personally wouldn't waste my money on this cheap item.

yes it will work in the cb band with no tuning. for ten meter band you will have to cut 12 inches from the tip of the antenna. don't bother with the tuning rings they don't change the frequency that much.

No. It's an actual tuning knob like the main tuning. You can tune the entire range of the radio with it, just in smaller steps (down to 10Hz.)

No, it comes with a typical am/fm tuner, but you can get the Sirius satellite radio adapter installed with this.

No u the the antenna made for the tuner, it has a different plug in than a regular external tuner.

This is a great antenna rarely ever needs tuning and will work well with about any band there are a few ham bands that may require tuning just be sure and use a good swr meter this antenna transmits and recieves very well

Yes, and you may not even have to adjust it. It comes with instructions for installation and tuning fot 10 and 11 meters. You may not even have to adjust it as it is tuned to USA Ch 19.

It doesn't unless there's a co-ax fitting for antenna attachment. At least that's why I recall returning it.

Yes - it takes a specific antenna connection, I do not know what the specification is.

I am sorry, I cannot honestly remember if there were any with the antenna I purchased.

No it doesnt. I is a good antenna. Depending on your location and signal strengh you may not need one. Try it first to see how your reception is. You can always add one if you need it. Log onto tvfool.com to see your local reception .

It had to be tuned, and it comes with the plastic caps for the tuning screws. I found tuning instructions online. Worked great

Wow, the same thing happened to me, and yes, it is in the manual! Hold the tuning "up" (+) button while turning on the power, and it will switch from the European (9kHz) to the U.S. (10 kHz), which sets it back to 580, 590, 600, etc., rather than the off numbers. Best 10 minutes I ever spent on the internets!

Depends on where you tune the antenna. It's broad-banded, 27-28 Mhz 5/8th wave, which is physically 1/2 wave at 21-22.5 Mhz. Try twisting the tuning rings nearly all the way to the top. It should center tune around 28 Mhz and tune 1.5 swr up to 29 Mhz. Additionally, it should tune great near the middle or top of 20 meters (21-21.450 Mhz.) I installed the stock ground plane accessory and also cut four additional wire ground plane elements @ 1/4 wave of 21 Mhz (approx. 11 feet) Works great. However, you may not need the ground plane if you are less than 30 feet above ground.

I use an auxillery wire to tune into local radio. I have a radio tuner app on my phone. The wire acts an an antenna

No. If the CB you have doesn't have an SWR meter, you can buy one fairly cheap on Amazon or E-Bay. But you definitely need one to tune your CB correctly. Another thing to pay attention to is mounting the antenna correctly and make sure it has a good ground. These are things I've learned from experience. Good luck.

I don't believe that is true. My husband said it just has a dial to tune it in. Sorry but I've never messed with them.
