The best of the best ????????

Still b.s. way too much tilt. Ya ever notice the majority of antennas on trucks are straight up. It's for a reason obviously you don't know what that reason is... Discussion OVER

 

With all due respect to all here, I would start testing with NO tilt and only tilt if needed, and only then just enough to get the desired numbers. Every degree negatively impacts performance

 

If you pay a cb hack to upgrade the final from factory to mosfet it will not increase the power 4 times, a stock cobra 29 has a legal carrier of 4 watts and with a mosfet it will not have a carrier of 16 watts. You mention 5 to 10 mile range, that can be achieved with stock 29 out of the box with good antenna system.

 

Take what you want from the threads. I am sure we are all qualified electronics experts. It explains why we drive trucks.

I can tell you I am set up exactly how Walcott radio set me up. And it is a great set up. 40 watts peak on a bird wattmeter on a cobra 29 lx. Anything more is overkill, imo.

So we can argue details all you sniveling snots want, but a cobra 29 lx with a mofset upgrade and a firestick 2 properly adjusted for length at a 45 is all you need, maybe more. I'm sure the cb tech is more qualified than most here. I have the results to prove it. Smell that? Smells like trolls being roasted. Highly recommend Walcott radio. They are professional no b.s. and they have parking for customers. Good day trolls.

 

Discussion does not end because you say so. It's a forum. Lol.

 

Ever notice how brackets are manufactured to be set for straight up and forty five? Must be a reason.

 

More like straight up and 20 degree tilt...... WALCOTT STILL LMAO.. WHERES RABBI WHEN YA NEED HIM ???

 

WALCOTT LMAO 40 WATTS STILL LMAO.... STICK TO SOMETHING YOU KNOW CB ROOKIE

 

Devil guy is a smart guy obviously----it's a thread about the best of the best cb radio wise asked by Sir Something. Plenty of Threads on here about Antennas this wasn't/Isnt One

 

Does that antenna setup on his truck he posted Impress Anyone.
