make of truck please..... the reason is MOST trucks really only use 1 antenna for the cb (drivers side) the other side is for the tv and radio..
-
i dont have a truck yet but when i had a 2012 model international nothing seem to want to work. ill be driving eithier a freightliner, peterbuild or volvo next week.

volvo DOES us both (i have 1) i use twin K40's (2500w i think) and they work great but major pain to set the swr on because you have to set each 1... you will end up going back and forth 2-5 times to get it right

Thanks flood

You forgot to mention what type of vehicle it's going on. That's the most important part of the equation.

You should be able to tune them simultaneously. You can't tune them individually because when you put them In parallel the resonant frequency will be different.
-
A better way is to use just one antenna on the drivers side.

Slap on a pair of Francis and your done. No worries on matching etc. Best antenna you can buy for the money. And don't forget to get a good mic, SRA 198, buy it on amazon its the cheapest.
