I picked up a whip antenna for free. i need the wires. where can i find the wires? also i was wondering if i would be able to hook the antenna to my radio.Thanks,Ryan
As stated COAX is needed, maybe an Antenna Mount.
CBs are quick and easy but there are a few things that need to be done.
First off, the antenna is the most important part of a CB system, it can make or break it, hopefully the one you have is good.
Next is good quality coax, buy only Belden coax, should be available at most Truck Stops; RG-58U is good, RG-8X is better.
(DO NOT BUY COAX AT RAT SHAQ)
Now what type of mount will you be using, do you need a Stud Mount ?
After that just hook up the red and blk wires directly to the battery, putting a fuse close to the battery end, mount the antenna, run the coax and make sure to get the antenna tuned for low SWR (standing wave ratio), a must do.
Good Luck,
