Hi.. Its me again... New thread for this one. I got a ford aspire. It currently has a 2" or so magnent mount antenna and a 510XL Pro Uniden. I got a Texas Star 250 High Drive to make it communicate with my recent base setup.. I know that antenna is small and needs upgrade. My cousin gave me a...

I want to communicate to car wherever I may travel. How high can I actually go? and would that be accomplished by adding another pole? Guessing the higher I go thats where the Guy wire would come in correct? Maybe well see ya I go by "BlueCamaro" as this is my first REAL base setup.. Cobra...

Ok I will definatly put a rod or 2 Outside.. Its pretty much the same on all channels. I went to abel electronics and told him I needed cb coax.. he gave me this grey stuff and said its for cb 50 ohm and will hold upto 1,000w. Its like $0.57 a foot. I thought my ground was the problem, but no...

Yes, I have the ground plane rods, Just didnt have them on in the yard for testing purposes ;).. Thanx for that useful info...

PS: What kind of radio is that? I like that frequency counter.. Can I put that on a 142?

142 Gtl Stuff.. Thanks all for help 2 newbie Thanks!! Actually thanks to you all. You guys have made my venture to cb land pretty fun. You'd think with the technology falling so fast, So would the price of stuff.. But its the opposite. I've had my best luck getting stuff off creigslist...

Newbie on cb Cool. Well the reason was I got it about a year ago, and while I knew it was told to me it was for ham, They told me ham antenna's could generally be used for cb as well. So I got it and after getting sick of seeing it laying around, I picked up on the hobbie. Mind you the only...

Well I got an offer for it... 30.00 which I think is far.. To be totally honest guys I am A.D.D and some take advantage of this. However for some reason when I really get into something I am smart and what not (like hacking cellphones, esn changes, DSS satellite ect..) but if its something...

WOW! made it home just in time for this storm! Bad here in michigan... Holding the poles as they hang out the window on a long trip, That'd be silly to have lightnig stick them holding them while I was driving to keep them in the car Lmao!

I got it for 60.00. It looks like new, but the ring feels weak and there is a hole in it... Not sure if that punched hole is supposed to go in there.. Second antenna and now I see why their on creigslist!! But this one came with the groundplane.. I bought a 2 meter (see thread) and Found out it...

Yea for a change I listened to you all... I got a cb antenna (MACO V/58 OMNI DIRECTIONAL CB ANTENNA ) but i noticed the ring is wore pretty bad.. looks intact but wind is going to snap it I can tell... But for learning sake I am going to store that 2m away and forget I have it.. unless someone...

Is the MACO V/58 OMNI DIRECTIONAL CB ANTENNA any good? Worth 70.00 used? Someone is selling one locally and being I have this 2 meter aluminum that appearently cannot be used to cd (11 meter I believe) then I am in the market to purchasing a decent antenna for base. I Have a Fire Stik II for the...

without worrying about 2 meters for a min... How would you go about "Destroying" or whathave you this antenna to make it work on the CB frequency? I dont plan on putting any more money into this hobbie until I get it to do something other then sit here..

VHF isnt that tv? So I could use it for tv till (if I even decide) I get ham? I need both tv and cb antennas.. But just invested money in coax and linear so cb is mostly important

In the meantime, what would I have to do to use it for cb? Tubing is tubing. If I removed the ring from the bottom thus leaving the connector and rods how would it work? I am new to all of this and want to start with cb because no way will my wife want to get her liscense to communicate with me

Ringo Ranger Hey, Thanks for this info.. Looks like this is it Google Image Result for http://tireblock.com/antennagraphs/images/RingoRanger2/ne8r_RingoRanger2_c.jpg So can this be tuned for cb? how much are they worth? Maybe sell it on ebay if it cannot be used, or possiby keep it...

Thanks For that info.. That was the MAIN clue into finding out exactly what I had on my roof, and why my swr was redlin'ing like there wasnt even an antenna connected THANKS!!! for that quick response.. Yea I dont have tools to check the resosonce you mention.. I got it awhile ago off...
