    What type of Y connector do I need to use to connect my stock cb atennas to my cb on my 2008 Peterbilt? Thanks in advance!

    I am surprised that no one replied

    What do you mean Y connector?

    If you have two antennas, you need a phasing harness, which is made up of two 75 ohm lengths of coax from the antennas to a splice into a 50 ohm piece going to the radio.

    You can buy these anywhere.

    The cables are already there and connected to the atennas but they are not connected together (they are seperate) on the end that would connect to the cb. That is why Im looking for a Y adapter to connect the two cables together and then connect it to my cb.

    OK I got it. you need an UHF Tee connector, I would get one with all female connectors on it and use a short jumper to the radio, but make sure before you order anything that you have 75 ohm coax going to the antennas.

    here is the link to what you need, it is the fifth one down.

    No that wont work either because the ends on the cables dont have anything to screw onto the tee with. (wish I would have taken a picture of one of the ends). I have been doing some more research and I think I found the Y adapter I need thru Peterbilt. I sent them an email to double check with them to make sure it will work before I purchase it, hopefully I will hear back from them tomorrow. I will post the link to it down below.

    I believe what you are looking for is a mini co phased adapter. Correct?

    Firestik and other companies as well as most CB shops have these. They're not hard to find.

    Save yourself time and aggrevation and run one good coax to one good antenna and be done with it.
