My Cobra 75 CB and antenna install
I got everything I needed in 1 package at a good price.Try looking at this rightchannelradios.com/jeep-offroad-cb-radio-106/jeep-off-road-cb-kit-cobra-75-wx-st-419.html its a pretty good deal.
I have a 2 to 1 plug for the aux input. i think im going to see if it will allow me to play both my cb and ipod at the same time, because like you it would kill me to just be able to use one or the other.
anyone have a pic how they assembled the coax cable to the plug?
not sure if I'm over thinking this or not. but its finally warm enough here to install and just wanted to double check on my first CB installation.
did you solder it?

I did my install similar to Cub23 and there was no soldering involved at all!
Yeah, I am pretty sure it is just plug in, or screw in like any other coax connection (think cable modem wire). Should be no soldering.
thanks for the input/info.
I did a search for coax & soldering and only yielded text so that's why I was looking for a pic.
for anyone that reads this thread and needs that info here's the
best thread I've found re: connector attachment
based on this I'll give it a shot.

scissorz - here's what you do:
first put on the rubber boot and slide it down a bit. It's just a cover for later. he narrow end goes on first. Then you'll put that outer sleeve on the wire and also move it down and out of the way.
Next you'll put the wire up and into the main connector. You'll want to fill up the side holes and end with solder using a soldering gun. It's a bit of pain, but just takes a bit of patience. Once its filled and solid, you twist that sleeve on -- it first secures to your main connector then will secure your connector to your CB base unit.
