I limit my use. I collect vintage CB radios in pristine condition with no modifications.I have to run dipole inside as sometimes you become a target.I have several hobbies and CB is one of them.
Amazing how these radio's bring back memories. I bought on Ebay Several old CB's in mint condition. I have one I had re-capped and gone over by a tech to align the side band.
Well I bought a 11 meter ' dipole ' with a ' balun ' and it is a perfect Swr. I just don't hear much chatter; just a lot of ground noise which I wrote the manufacturer; but have not received a reply . I am not looking for distance as trucks are always in the area. I ordered a indoor no ground...

I have luck and that depends on conditions with my dipole with balun strung in a horizontal v configuration.I don't want a antenna on my house.The match is perfect on 11 meters.
Folks I collect vintage cb radios in the factory box. I saw a Cobra 21 LTD on eBay and made a bid of $20 because it said unused in the original box with hardware in plastic. after 5 days I won the bid at $20.I have several CB's from the past fully functional with no golden screwdrivers...
