Here is a pretty clean way to gain full reception for your handheld cb but still keeping it clean and not to many wires

works great!

You will need
3 ft Antenna cable(black)
bnc to uhf connector
2" female to female unf connector
18' antenna cable
heat shrink tubing
chair leg cap

i find that the shrink tube is what keeps it clean looking

Let me know if you want more pics or info

NOTE: Use a 5/8 bit to drill through the black plastic and a 7/8 bit to go through the plastic underneath to allow room for your connection to go through


Finished product with chair leg cap and a piece of heat shrink around the nut


Same as above but with cap removed


Same as above but with wire attached


Very clean


Attached bnc connector to cable and heat shrink to clean it up


How i ran the cable from antenna


My mount with shrink tube again

 

thats great where do you get the 3ft cable to hook to the radio I cannot find one

 

Thats the same place where I have the plug for my Cobra 75WXST.

Thanks for the chair leg rubber cap idea!

 

www.radioworld.ca
is where you can find all the parts i used except for the chair leg rubbers

 

Very nice.....what was the total cost?

 

$53 and i bought the CB radio for $50 off kijiji

 

So for an antenna you are using the short one that came with the CB?

 

no i bought a new 4ft antenna. from radioworld as well.

 

So is your reception as good as using a regular unit? Im assuming yes. This is a realy good idea.

 

yea no problems thus far!.
