Comparable or compatible? Any CB antenna with a PL-259 connector is compatible.


How can you tell the difference between a CB antenna and a VHF antenna?

The CB antenna is made for a limited band of frequencies and the VHF is a wide band antenna made for higher freqs. A CB antenna will not make a good tv antenna. A CB ant. is mounted on the vertical and tv ants. are mounted horiz. in the USA. VHF antennas are much smaller as they are for higher frequencies. Usually, they have many elements (rods) and will go from long in the back to short in the front. Certain CB antennas (beams) are mounted horizontally, but all of the elements are roughly the same length - and about twice as long as a VHF antenna. The elements on a horizontal CB antenna are roughly 18 feet from end to end.


Where can someone purchase a CB antenna?

A mobile CB antenna can be purchased for $19.88 at Wal-Mart online or at the actual store. They can also be obtained at the CB City store or official website and on Amazon online.


Does more watts on a CB antenna mean more range?

Generally more watts on a CB antenna doesn't mean more range. On average, a typical CB antenna takes in 4 watts before damage occurs. Watts is the power source not the range of signal.


Do you have to have an antenna for a CB radio?

Only if you want the radio to work.


Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?

No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging


What base loaded magnet mount cb Radio antenna kit is comparable with realistic trc-418 radio?

Whichever one you like. Since all CB antennas have 50 ohms impedance and all CB radios expect the antenna to have 50 ohms impedance, there's no problem with matching the radio to the antenna.


Can you hook up a CB to your car antenna?

Yes, you certainly can. But the car antenna probably won't work as efficiently as one that's specifically designed for CB. That means you probably won't be able to hear as far or talk as far as you could if you used the right antenna.

Is mounting a 96 fiberglass cb antenna on an aluminum tool box a good idea?

As long as its a stable and secure mount, and installed correctly, and of course height restrictions observed, yes, that will work.


What antenna do I need for my CB radio?

The main thing to remember for CB radio antennas is that taller antennas will work better. If this is for a vehicle, select a tall antenna where at least 50 percent of it will be above the roof line. You will have the best range this way.
