FM / CB antenna
Hello all, a tree limb fell down and broke off my antenna on my 2004 F350
I plan to install my CB in the truck so I was wondering, is there a antenna
which would fit in the "regular" antenna position on my truck which would
work for CB as well as FM radio?
Thanks

CB Antenna
My suggestion is to make sure that you either install your cb antenna in the center of your roof, or on the center of an aluminum or steel tool box. This gives the antenna a good field for collecting signal thus improving range. I would also check and adjust the swr's on the antenna and get them as low as possible. Just remember, when it comes to the antenna, you get what you pay for!

You might try browsing cbradioforum, I seem to recall a similar question getting some discussion there a while back. If you can't find your answer, join up and ask. Those guys know what they are talking about and are usually quick to help. Google on cb radio forum and it should be the top link.
But I agree, stick it on the center of your roof and don't skimp on quality or the time it takes to tune it right.
