Need suggestions for this issue

Ok. New 2024 KW T680.

Best repair option for stock antenna system for this problem. company truck so mods must be minimal and reversible. see picture

 

The pl259 ripped the coax, just get it replaced.

 

Our shop would order a replacement set and has said its a pain in the ### to pull interior apart etc...

so I am looking to do this myself in the truck. Is there a video you could direct me to that would show how to accomplish in the T680 dual antenna application?

Was also wondering if I might have an easier time of it by putting a 2 bnc to pl259 jumper in instead? I believe adding in another connection point could cause issue but am looking for the easy novice fix.

 

You would be better off having a CB shop with the proper tools replace the PL-259 connector for you.

 

Either take it by a shop and replace the connector, or you could cut it off and replace it yourself for under $5...Another option is just order a new Co-Phase antenna wiring harness and just replace the whole thing...

 

installed a spare radio. taped up the break in the jacket. works just fine. took the main 29 ltd classic in to a "local" shop this morning.

 

Can you guys link Some solid YouTube channels for the novice / beginner?

I'm looking to do a temporary as needed setup system for my personal pickup truck for when my wife and I go on road trips. I really don't need a CB running around in town , which is most of my pov driving , though I wouldn't mind having it for longer trips


And I've yet to come across an in truck repair videofor a co-phased antenna system to replace that connector.
I made one attempt to have our shop take care of it at a p.m. but I'm not sure the shop supervisor cares for me very much . it's not an out of service item so I may need to go over his head to the shop manager who was a former driver and understands.

so any help you guys can provide that way as far as something I might be able to do in the truck l would appreciate it.

 

What model and year pickup?

second the way you fix that connector is to replace the harness, that harness isn’t properly setup. This is what I meant.

 

It needs to be replaced.

 

just happened to see the shop manager this morning. is going to call kw to come out for warranty repair at our terminal on a weekend ...
