Decided to put my CB unit into my car rather than gather dust in the house.

Ive never fitted one before or used one so Im a bit lost.

I have installed it through a cigarette plug and using a mag mount with a 5ft(ish) aerial.

I have a SWR meter and its coming up as just below 1 on the scale.

The unit is new (Maxon CM10) but I dont seem to be picking anything up?

I was adjusting the SQ until the 'feedback' stopped, and on 1 channel I could hear talking but it was very distorted and faint?

Anyone any ideas or is it just that no one in my area uses these anymore?
