Ok then you have one of the KW series.
Make sure you have a good ground with the mounting bracket.
I removed some paint under mine and also try to get the
antenna at least a foot away from ant overhang.
If you find a CB shop they should be able help trouble shoot
the ground plane issue that is causing the high SWR.
Firestick's trouble shooting may also help.
