Nah its just the antannae you have to tune. I believe Radio Shack seels the item to tune it...if I remember right it is called an SWR unit. Not sure about the price but if you use the CB a lot they are handy things to have around...especially if you remove and replace your antannae on the car a lot.

Every time it moves positions...like say you put it on the trunk lid and took it off the roof...then you will want to make sure the metering remains at optimum levels. You can also get ones that hook up inline and are always monitoring broadcast strength and attenuation levels.
