CB Antenna
Since the maximum allowable power output of the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the
antenna is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a properly matched antenna
system will allow maximum power output. Cobra loaded type antenna models are highly
recommended for most installations. Consult your Cobra dealer for further details, or call
800-543-1608
and speak to a Cobra representative. A standard antenna connector is
provided on the transceiver for easy connection.
For optimum performance in passenger cars the ideal antenna location is on the center
of the roof. Second choice is on the center of the trunk. Because many newer trucks
feature fiberglass door skins, the outside mirror must be grounded to the chassis via a
ground strap when the antenna is mounted on the mirror bracket.
3-way combination antennas are also available which allow reception on the AM
and FM commercial broadcast bands and support receive and transmit operation
on the CB radio band. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than
optimal receive and transmit performance range when compared to a dedicated,
high performance CB radio antenna.
Cobra offers CB antenna and mounting solutions that can be purchased online.
