CB Antenna mount

<< < (2/3) > >>

hobbit:
If your bonnet is not ally you could drop it on there

Spooky:
Mine's fitted to the light bar on the roof, and being a half-length 'springer' type aerial is very flexible ...

pritch:

--- Quote from: "Sheddy" ---The only place you can put it with some form of saftey to it is the front bumper, but that gives crap transmission as the ground plane is all toward the rear of it.  The best place to put any antennae with regard to transmission/reception is the middle of the roof.

If you manage to find out the definative answer to this quandry, let me know and I'll put mine in the same place!
--- End quote ---


Is crap transmission really that much of an issue, though?  Most of the time, you're going to be using the CB in fairly close proximity to other vehicles, so it's hardly that much of an problem.  If you're particularly bothered, you can get radials or even electronic groundplane adaptors that fit to the bottom of the aerial.

Snake110:
On a disco the wheel carrier is the best compramise
between performance and durability.
just try to ensure that you get an antenna
with a center or top coil to clear the roof line
or you will suffer dificult tuneing and weak
performance..

Bill jones:
Being I intend keeping my disco untill its last days I drilled a hole in the front of the roof just above the internal roof light, good access from behind the light, but not the best thing drilling holes in the roof if you think you are going to sell your motor on. :wink:
