If you've got another room to try the radio in, you could do what I sometimes do and that is to connect another CB radio to your aerial, and with it set on low power on a blank channel, lock the mic on with a 'broadcast' radio set on a speech only type station placed within normal speaking distance of the mic. Then have the radio on test in another room, or even the same room for this particular test if you can put up with a bit of audio feed back, with no aerial connected and on the same channel as the other radio you'll get a good +30 signal for your test.
