When choosing a mounting location, it is critical to choose an area that is well grounded to the vehicle chassis. Hood rails, doorjambs, metal bars, and vertical metal surfaces are great areas to mount a CB antenna. Of these two antennas we recommend the Firestik FS due to its greater range capability, unless you are going to be regularly traveling in areas of thick brush.Д¬hoosing a Mounting Location for a CB Antenna Ideal for overlanders traveling in areas with thick brush, the FLEX will easily bend under low hang branches and obstacles. Created with a unique design, the FLEX antenna is able to bend up to 180 degrees without breaking. Another popular fiberglass CB antenna is the Wilson FLEX. This proven antenna is made from quality parts in the USA, is available in 2вЂІ вЂ“ 5вЂІ lengths, and is compatible with CB antenna springs and quick disconnects.

The most popular fiberglass CB antenna is the Firestik FS. Because fiberglass antennas are more durable and made for off-road use, they are an ideal fit for overland vehicles. There are two primary types of antennas that are widely used, magnetic base loaded antennas, and fiberglass top loaded antennas. Additionally, this radio can be easily detached and stored when not in use.Д«ecause all CB radios are regulated at 4 watts of power, the primary factors in determining CB range is the quality and length of the CB antenna. This unique compact CB unit contains all the controls in the microphone and attaches to a small control box that is easily hidden. If cab space is a concern, we recommend the compact Cobra 75 WX ST II. This din size radio has a front firing speaker and can easily mount in, above, or below the dash of any vehicle. One of the most popular NOAA radios is the Cobra 18 WXST II. The FCC regulates CB communication to 4 watts of power, and therefore makes choosing a CB not about the power, but about how it fits the needs and you and your vehicle.Д«ecause overland trips tend to span over multiple days, CB radios that receive NOAA weather updates are very popular. One essential thing to understand about CB radios is that all CBвЂ™s are created with the same amount of transmission power. CB radios come in many shapes, sizes, and have different capabilities.
