CB Aerial Fitting

<< < (4/5) > >>

Tyke:
Stuck my antenna smack on top of my roof rack. Brill performance, just learn to live with it smashing trees etc. Only ever lost one, they usually just bend at the springy bit above the mount.

Anyway, If the tree branches were any lower I'de be worried about ripping the roof rack off so an antennae is least of my worries  :lol:

Wiring goes into a main feed in the box under the drivers side dash.

Range Rover Blues:
If it's really overgrown I tie mine back wards with chord, it stops it whipping over and hitting the roof.

Telaren:
Decided not to fit  above screen - Too much messing with cabling  :?

Ended up fitting to side of center gear console and picked up live from just behind the fuse box.   :lol:

Fitted aerial to rear drivers side corner and hid cable behind top window trim down to the seat then hid under carpet and fed under the drivers seat to the CB.  Looks neat enough.  8)

Just a word of caution - anyone thinking of drilling a hole in the rear corner, check that you can get behind (Inside)  
The first hole I drilled was too low and went into a closed cavity.  :x

Managed to hide it with a cool decal   8)

Will post piccies ASAP

Keep on Pluggin  :shock:

hi m8 im a radio ham and i would personally mount your whip on the front bumper as you wont get as much reflection from you back door if u mount it on ur rear bumper, which could in effect cause an higher swr and damage your cb, reception will still b as good as roof mounting because your aerial uses ur car as a ground therefore basically ur car is ur recieving aerial
