    CB Radio Antenna

    Has anyone done this at all? I was wanting to use where the old antenna was and replace with a CB radio ant.

    I dont think anybody has done an antenna, but I know people have changed them, and also rebuilt them.

              Anyone have any pictures of their current antenna setup? I have been looking into doing something like this with my car. I have a CB radio and I always have at least one of my scanners with me. Having the rubber ducky antenna inside the car kills reception but I want to avoid drilling holes for an antenna but don't want to have a pricey antenna just being held on by a magnet.

              I have seen a splitter like thing that you simply plug your STOCK radio antenna wire into it and then it has two outs, one to the stock radio and one to your scanner. Obviously your stock radio antenna is useless when it comes to transmitting so it would be pointless to attach it to a CB radio.


              to the OP. Check out the Saturday Night in Kansas City thread in the Midwest Regionals section of this forum. I see you are in Blue Springs, MO. And if I remember correctly you purchase a CB that is well known to the KC CB7 Crew.

                Yes that is true my names' Robert aka Happy Gilmore. I have Nicoles CB7 and her and I have became friends in the process. I want to finish what she started . When I get her tagged I hope to see you all soon in the KC area!!!! I have another CB7 that needs a major makeover so I will have 2 of them . And the funny thing is my 2nd one is just like Nicoles only diff is the vin number. Both were the same color and were auto's and same year!!!

                I will post pics up when I start doing the CB Antenna setup I think its a handy thing to have on the road. Also another good source of entertainment as well. I will get started on the write up right away.

                      I had an 8ft cb antenna on my 89 Sentra one time....people told me it looked like a remote control car or either if the antenna bent over to one side far enough it would tip the car over haha.

                        I found my 48 in Whip so i am gonna take a look at how i would put this in here. I would like drill a hole on the other side in the same spot for duals I think this would be sweet. I am sooo taking pictures as I do this.

                          I never was a big fan of duals unless your running high power . I used to have duals in most of the trucks I drove and just running a tuned cobra 29 just dident seem to get out there as much as I would on a single antenna.
                          (now that could have been many things ) just my way of thinking .

                            It just depends on where you have those antennas located. I am just doing dual for symmetry really but I will go with one for now and see what it does. I am also trying to avoid ricey type stuff lol I just like CB radio's and such and with a CB7 with duals is just something slightly different...We will see where this goes

                              just run good cable and make sure your grounded well and maybe it will help

                              I used to run extra grounds in my volvo's and that helped sending/recieving.
