Thanks everyone. I pulled the liner out of the Tour Pak and the antenna is wired correctly.

 

just an observation.BUT,color negitives are very easily reversed. happens all the time. you see a photo of a very familar object/subject and say to your self, "something doesn't look right in this picture." sure enough the world is backackwords.

call me silly, butanother REALLY good way to check would be to hit the transmitt button on that CB. if someone hears you and responds it's more than very, verylikely OK. funny thing about them CB's, the range really falls off (to about 20 feet) when transmitting off a receiver antenna. LOL
