CB antenna ?

The truck I bought came with a nice CB but no antenna. This is all new to me, where do I get a magnetic CB antenna? I really need one by Thursday.

Radio Shack maybe... If you have Fry's Electronics around you they carry them I think. Also, maybe check the yellowpages for a local CB Shop.

You should be able to find a truck stop in your area, you can get one there. If you have a large truck stop by you they may have a CB shop on the ground they can fix you right up. You will need to get it calibrated for best performance.

Are you certain that someone didn't put a "two-piece" antenna on there? Similar to this...http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/P...000501/c-10101

Antenna, bracket, and coax maybe around $75 for decent stuff. The antenna should be tuned to your radio using an SWR meter. The better the match on the meter the better the radio will perform.
