    That's kinda what I'm thinking. For economy and simplification. I've been researching the he(( out of it and if I install quality coax, Wilson 200(properly tuned) I should have a decent setup. Good enough for what I m wanting?

    For a one antenna system, you use 50 ohm coaxial cable. Examples include RG 8, Rg 58, RG 213 among many others. This is the simplest and cheapest antenna setup for mobile CB radio installation.
    .
    .For a two antenna system, you must co-phase the two antennas using a specific wiring harness. This is more complex and therefore more costly.
    .
    .For a reference to different coax cables that are available you can look here:

    Yep, I was just reinforcing what you said, because the OP kept talking about trying to run single antenna with a co-phased harness.
