Antennas 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. Operation Turning On Your CB Make sure the power cord, antenna and microphone are connected to their proper connectors before starting. 1. The CB/PA button should be in the CB position. 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 operation of all three bands (AM-FM & CB), using a single antenna. However, this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type "Single Band" CB antenna. Cobra offers CB antenna and mounting solutions that can be purchased online.
