Is the CB getting its power from the amp(?) By amp I will assume you are talking about a signal amplifier..

people think that if they peak and tune a radio it will work better. First, if its brand new from the factory you shouldn't have to,all you should have to do is lower the dead key raise the modulation and you are good to go . The proper way to do this is with a spectrom analyzer . Do you have one? Cheap on ebay ,may 4000-5000 dollars but if you get one and set that radio perfect you should hear anyone complain that you are interfering with their radio.

first you need a power meter.like a bird 43 .then you have to open the radio look for L18,L17,L14,and L10 . Now that you have which inductors to tune have at it.

write out a list of all the faceplates for that radio,neatly . Now tear them in strips so you can attach them to the wall, Now take a dart and toss it at those nameplates and whichever one it hits is the one you want.

If you need this you are telling me that you do not posses a ham license there fore you shouldn't be using this radio.
