CB antenna help

Striker A-10 magnet mount is a good start.

Get the radio ‘peaked and tuned’ if it can be - or consider buying an older one that has been worked on.

What’s your 20? There’s still a few good CB shops around.

 

Actually - skip the magnet mount and get a regular A-10, mount it on a secure bracket at the front corner of the bed, and run a ground wire to anywhere on the frame -

Get a good quality co-ax , run it back there, should work pretty good.

Most radio issues are in a poor antenna setup - not the radio.

If you go with the bracket idea - you can get most all the connections from a decent truck stop.

Better still - a good CB shop can sell you the few parts you’ll need without having to guess on line shopping.

 

Yeah - check out the guy at Hoods truck stop west of you. Jim I think. I’ve had work done before with him, he’s good.
