CB radios are used mostly by truckers, they let each other know which areas to avoid due to traffic, accidents, or speed traps. But for us off-roaders, it allows us to separate from the group, without losing all contact. When cellphone service isn't available, the next best option is a CB. What happens when a zombie apocalypse takes over the world? No cellphones, no internet, and no regular communication. Those with CB radios can easily contact other survivors, and ultimately not turn into a zombie.

The video title aays you will use an antenna to install a radio; how, exactly, does that work?

@asappestcontrol1250 8 лет назад

A filter at the positive wire will help with static.

@roydykens7376 4 года назад

Awesome! This is the first place I've found answers to why my radio has so much static. Between the way I hooked up the power and the antenna cable being coiled I have some changes to make.

@yankeeroad626 8 лет назад

Use actually ring terminals at the battery end. DO NOT just twist bare wire around a bolt. You may also want to mention that one of the reason for having a center mounted antenna is the it will keep a more even 360 dispersal transmission. If you mount it in the rear your best and strongest signal will go forward and opposite if you mount the antenna on the front bumper. Other than that good basic cb info.

@stevevaughn9238 6 лет назад

Did you insert the whip all the way in ? I’m getting red antenna warning. I put the whip 1” into the magnet base as Wilson instructions said.

@Dustrunnersauto 6 лет назад

That’s odd. It’s been so long since I had that Jeep I can’t even remember if I put the whip in all the way. Sorry.

@chrispierce2942 5 лет назад

You still need to put a meter on it and adjust the SWRs. Unless you like a soon to be fried radio.

@michaelcampeau9853 7 лет назад

i have a cobra 29 and wilson 5000 coming is that a good set up

@AndrewW-hs3se 7 лет назад

Michael Campeau should be. Wilson's are the best mag mount antennas on the market

@michaelcampeau9853 7 лет назад

yeah i love this set up crazy range

@MrJohndeere3720 7 лет назад

ya its a great setup.. i'll be doing that same setup 2 my tractor. i have a cobra 29 lx in my house 2.. & a cobra 18 on my atv..

You fuse should be close to the battery connection..

@wrestlemaniac202 4 года назад

Did you check the swr?

@seeharvester Год назад

What's that?

@teamdeep5822 Год назад

How you like it. How’s the anntenna?

@Dustrunnersauto Год назад

I loved it. The only downside is that the height of the antenna will hit the roof of drive throughs and lots of branches when off-roading.

@TheXChapter 6 лет назад

I've been wanting to get one of these! only thing is, I'm not sure if i want it on passenger side or drivers where the legs go! i wanna be comfy on long drives and want my guest in the passenger seat to be as well. i do have the cobra one though! i have a 2012 Dodge Avenger!

@seeharvester Год назад

Mount it on the passenger seat between the legs. Then if you ever get a woman in the car, you have an excuse to "get all up in her business".

@johnemerson6112 5 лет назад

MISINFORMATION: you ABSOLUTELY must tune/swr test your antenna/setups. There is NO such thing as a universal antenna...even when being installed on multiple vehicles of the exact same make and model. To many outside variables like the mount you choose, the exact location of the mount, the make up of and how you run your coax, etc...Setup 10 vehicles of the same make and model with the exact same radio, mounts, mount locations, and same coax cables...9 if not 10 different SWR readings...nuff said...

100 dollars for a Cobra 19 and a Wilson 1000 ? How did you manage that ? Impossible😀

Maybe it was $100 and some weed.

It can be stolen in seconds mounted that way.

@@Bluesjet1234 You got that right. You can have the one I bought. Unless he's talking about the antenna. They're pretty good.

@conorturton 8 лет назад

You do not wire the negative wire to the battery. If you do and there's a fault with the main battery negative cable then all the current being drawn by everything in the car goes straight through your radio and blows it to bits. Do not use a magmount. It is the second most inefficient type of mounting and should only be used for very very temporary installations. You WILL damage the paint and you will crush the coax on it and possibly fry your CB as a result. The best mount is a fixed mount but it requires drilling holes. Breedlove Antenna Mounts in the USA make a puck mount which would have been a far better option for this installation and provided far more performance per watt and better receive. The noise he speaks of is as a result of using a magmount antenna. Using a fixed mount antenna you'll drastically lower the chances of getting interference.

@Dustrunnersauto 8 лет назад

+Conor M0GVZ We didn't wire the negative to the battery, we grounded it on the radiator support. We're not to concerned about damaging the paint as the Jeep is spray painted. I also don't know of any magnet mounted antenna on the market that crushes its own coax cable. The coax comes out of the side of the magnet mount so it doesn't crush it. Thanks for your feedback.
