I really do not want to modify the vehicle at all if possible. I do understand the practicality of the issue, and I do agree it's probably my best bet to go that route...however I guess I don't NEED the CB that bad, I just miss having it. If I could get a mile or two of dependable range, I'd be...
I'm looking for ideas on an antenna that would work well on a car. I have a 2006 G6 GT and I really miss the CB my bronco has. I was told that my best option would be to get one of those small cell-phone looking antennas that stick to your rear glass. I have heard bad things about these, but I'm...
It's just a mirror mount.
I had the part of the mount where the antenna actually mounts to it pointing towards the truck at first. Well I decided to flip it around (putting it to where the lip and hole is to mount the antenna is facing away from the truck) and it fixed it... :?:
Why would it be doing that? A few weeks ago it was at:
Ch1 and ch40 around 1.4 and ch. 20 was around 1.3 ish.
The only thing I did to it was tilt the antenna towards the truck to make it stand straight up and down, but it was a small tilt, not more than about 10 degrees or so.
Not very good pictures, but you can get the idea. My spot that I mounted it in is slanted and was hard to get a good pic of, and the first picture is a mock-up one I did, the finished product is a nicer shot. (I had my mockup in the truck, so I just popped it on there and took a pic)...
Do you mean a plate that goes around the CB to cover up the excess of the hole you've cut into your dash?
If so, I can fab one up for you, I have a CO2 laser that will engrave/cut plastic, I can get a picture after school lets out (around 3:30 pm Central time) and you can see what I'm talking...
It doesn't bother me, it's just a small click, but I was just wondering if it would damage my CB or PA speaker. (Yes, it's under the hood, mounted on the firewall right next to the brake booster.
I'm not talking of an external speaker or the internal speaker on the unit, I'm talking about a Public Address speaker, the ones you put under your hood and talk to innocent bystanders with. :wink:
If that's what you're talking about, then I need to know one thing...what's a toroid choke?
Thanks guys. I'm satisfied with my setup.
Yes, my friend's antenna is only a 3' whip, but that's only because the 4' whips don't look good (to him) on a single cab short bed truck. I sort of agree, and although looks are not what he/I should be gauging on, it ended up ruling our decision :)...
No no, there's only one radio on my antenna.
What I meant was, at the time when I was getting bad reception, I went to the local Walmart and bought a midland 40ch (one model under the one I bought online) just to make sure it wasn't the CBs fault for me getting around 1/2 a mile at the time...
Sorry to keep bugging you guys, but I have yet another question.
When my truck is idling, if I listen closely (my truck is pretty loud, so it's not really noticable unless you've got good ears or you're listening for it) I can hear the PA speaker make a clicking noise (like when you push the...
Well, it was. Now it's not..I think I may have messed it up because it came off the mount (vibrated itself off).
But, it went up. Don't really know why. Maybe I checked it in a more/less crowded area? It was a different spot than I checked it earlier this month.
OH, and I have another CB...
Hello again.
Today my friend and I got just shy of 9 miles! We're very pleased with this, but we were wondering, how can you increase your incoming signal? What I mean by this is that I could hear him towards the end of 9 miles but he couldn't hear me.
I know it is possible that it's my...
