Antennas on Sale - Good Deal and Compatible ?

Those would be compatible and would be an upgrade. They would need to be tuned to your cb by adjusting or cutting the whip portion. Those are good deals. Those normally sell for about $50-60.

 

Top loaded works best not those mid load k40's,2000's or even a big coiled ant....
If you dont use a top load ant atleast 6' tall your looseing out..

 

Compatible with the vehicle would be a better question. They would work with that Cobra 29 under certain circumstances, although there might be better or cheaper options depending on the vehicle. They're tuned to the vehicle not the radio. What type of vehicle is it?

 

Sorry..I had cascadia on the brain..
Yes rabbi your correct....Now unless your pushin power all those ant will do fine depending what its mounted to..

 

Isn't it true that you need a ground plain in order for top load to work optimally? Plastic and fiberglass tractor cabs don't really have a ground plain. I have heard of people sticking adhesive foil squares or even foil tape up on the headliner in order to make a ground plane. Do you think that would work?

 

What about those fiberglass antennas that are suppose to be pre tunes?

 

If you do get one of those Wilson’s or K40s, they get water in that center coil sometimes and can really affect the radio swr.

 

Pretune is crap...All ant use same principles except a no ground plain ant..
