2013 cascadia cb mount

ya casadias coax r garbage u r better off to use a bird perch and ur own coax, and good luck getting a ground plane with a fiberglass truck

 

oh and casadias whips are more then for your cb, so u dont want to disable them

 

I repaced the stock antenas with a pair of 4' fire stick 2's. This brought my swrs down to around 1.4-1.5 and put my tips to right around 13' 3". I'm getting out much better now.Ii would try that before you spend money on a bird perch unless you have some power.

 

Look to your upper left and find the sunglass holder (The one on the upper right looks just like it)

Remove the retaining screws. Now look behind it. Your coax and power/ground leads should all be there. Looks similar to the illustration

BTW, the antenna on the drivers side is for the CB. On the passenger side, it's for AM?FM and TV. Freightliner has a multiplexer behind the dash for the whole setup. Unless you know what you're doing, like what was said earlier, I wouldn't screw with it.

 

What is a good CB to buy at a truckstop?...around how much?...best truck stop to buy at?

Thanks!

 

If the Bird Perch you have is just the shaft by itself, with the one mounting point - the type you screw into the door thread, and you plan on mounting an antenna on it, it better be one with little or no heft.

I used this one (and suggest others do as well) with both the upper and lower mirror mounting points and have a Predator 10k on it. Been using this set up for over 2 years now with no problems

 

That's due to the diplexer / multiplexer mounted behind the dash. All the antenna leads go into this thing and what you get is less than stellar performance because of it.

This thread goes into it in a lot more detail and contains a wealth of good info regarding Cascadias and radio issues.
