What is the best CB radio antenna, which should I buy?
Written by admin on January 23, 2010 – 5:18 am -I drove a tractor trailer for about 10 years. I am a member of many CB Radio Forum, extremely Truck Driver Forum.
I can see and get this question all the time, so I decided to try to answer here.
You made the truck driving school, now you must have a CB radio? OK, first we need to do some research on the CB radio. Want a radio 10 meters or want a standard of 11 meters CB radio? Well, it wouldthe latter of the two. Because if you are a licensed Ham Radio operator by the FCC, it is illegal to possess a 10-station subway.
CB radio operators are allowed to talk about band of 11 meters.
There are 40 channels in 11-meter band, does not go channel channel CB 1-26,965 below or above the channel 40-27,405. Everywhere among you are authorized to work until your CB radio is not "work" there will in the future. There isdifferent types of CB-radio programs to choose from, which is only in the United States.
Cobra 25 LTD, 29 LTD, 148 GTL, 19 DX, 25 NW, 25 WXNW, 29 NW, 29 WXNW
Texas Ranger 696, 121,966
Uniden PRO-538 from the weather, XL 510, XL PC 68, PC 68 LTW, PC 78 XL, LTW PC 78, PC 78 Elite
Galaxy Galaxy 949 and 959
Those mentioned here are the fundamental law are allowed to use radio in the United States today without having a license Armature radio. They arebe allowed to be used until there are no changes to them as a "Peak and Tune" where the power is turned on the radio. From the factory, this is preset radio is 4 watts what is lawful. Set properly, they will go up to about 35 watts, but once again it is not allowed by the FCC.
But most drivers go to the nearest "CB shop" and pay $ 50.00 to $ 100.00 for a wall "Connex" and a peak and tune "done to their radio. Wall Connex "echo added is a function within the radio, so that the twist (ECHO), the voice is also a callback function that adds the operator can hear it through an external speaker.
Most managers I know I usually buy a decent radio ($ 150.00) to buy a cheap antenna to go with him. Well, not work, the antenna is 95% of your overall CB. I would recommend any Wilson antenna, especially a Wilson 2000 or Wilson 5000 They range in price from $ 50,00-100,00 U.S. dollars, andnormally installed. Yes, it is installed with a technology so you can set the SWR on your antenna. SWR-VSWR is what makes your talk radio. If you have an SWR of more than 3 or more will burn your radio. Technology will use SWR meter connected to your call and the antenna SWR reading to find out. If it is too high, will cut some of the antenna sweep from 1 / 8 "increments until satisfactory SWR. If you do not want to have a hope of an antenna usedbuy at least one adjustable.
The recall is still a large part of the radio performance. What would be a good technology when you install the "new" antenna will not be taken. But when all the radio and you get the drop in performance, will normally be SWR or coaxial. Truck Stop sell cut lengths of coaxial cable, usually a 18 a piece to replace what is poorly managed around $ 25.00, I recommend pepper or a clear coax. If you only replaceurges you to do this yourself unless you want SWR checked.
I hope that maybe it was a bit 'light shed on what to buy.
Be safe out there.
