    It was expected. At least it wasn't in the truck, because that's happened...

    Well, that will work poorly and not for very long. Radios are sensitive to antenna length and you'll burn up the transmit circuitry over time.

    Check out the build
    Exactly, I think you've been ok so far because the radios only put out 3w, but you'll probably ruin the radio since it's on a different band than what the antenna is designed for. Now if it's an HF radio it could possibly work, but not for UHF/VHF that the Baeofeng uses.

    ...too much shit to list.
    You can make it as simple or complex as you want. HAM is like the AR-15 platform of coms. Just get a damn radio that puts out above 30 watts.

    That relates a whole lot better.
    I was going for dramatic effect since CB is 27Mhz and HAM is 144Mhz.
