CB warning antenna on a cobra 29 lx camo
I calibrate the K30 cb antenna to the mark CAL on chanels 1, 20 and 40. I only get 3 lines when I'm transmitting. I did a radio check but the atenna fail. I move the antenna up and down. I don't get a signal strength keying up the mic

You may have blown out the output transistor in the CB. Can you still calibrate the swr meter? The K 30 isn't really a very good antenna. The Lil Will isn't either. I'd try a K-40 or a better model Wilson antenna.
When you check the SWR use an external meter not the meter on the radio . The radio meter is good but it is not as accurate as an external one . your radio may not be putting out enough modulation. Try turning the watts down to 1.5w and the turn the modulation to 100% . You will get the same response on your meter but as far as overall power you should be getting out better .
