San Antonio

You mean Pacific

 

I have a cb, it is not currently installed.

Everything is wired, including antenna. I literally only have to plug it in.

I have been lazy.

 

What antenna did you go with

 

You mean Pacifico

 

FireStick II, 2', 1/4 wave iirc.

 

Enjoy my ramblings

... Or else.

 

Will this work for me

 

Should be fine. Where you mounting it? Those are super easy to tune. Just in case you haven't read already, DO NOT TRY OUT YOUR RADIO UNTIL YOU TUNE THE ANTENNA. Don't even turn it on. In fact don't even hook up the antenna.

 

But wheres the radio antenna now

 

On ditch light mount

 

Will it interfere with radio antenna

 

Same place as yours just on the ditch light mount

 

I use a multiplexer to pick up am/FM through the CB antenna. Works pretty good, I get Austin stations pretty clear on cool nights from South San Antonio. Especially if I'm on any kind of hill.

 

Wait you can use cb antenna for your radio to

 

Tell me how I'm new don't know Chet

 

The downsides to the multiplexer are reduced range (IDGAF, I only need short range for trails) and you cannot use the CB and AM/FM at the same time. Upside - one antenna.

 

In my garage somewhere.

Yes, with a multiplexer.

It's all in that link.

Probably.

 

Oh so I should keep it simple keep factory antenna

 

It's all personal preference.

Part of me wants ONE antenna.
Part of me wants a whip.
Part of me wants to put a whip where the factory antenna goes.
With a raccoon tail at the top.

 

What's a whip
