Dual band antennas provide optimum reception of CB and
WX channels. For mobile installations (car, boat), a non-
directional antenna provides the best CB reception. Mobile
antennas use your vehicle’s metal body as a ground plane.
If the CB is installed in a boat, your boat’s steel hull is used
as a ground plane. Without a steel hull serving as a ground
plane, you will not receive maximum efficiency. Before
using your CB in a boat, consult with your boat dealer
regarding an adequate grounding system.
Keep in mind that for the best performance you should
mount the antenna:
• as high as possible.
• as far as possible from sources
of electrical noise.
• vertically.
1. Follow the antenna’s
instructions to mount it.
2. Route the antenna cable to
the CB radio and connect it
to the
ANT. jack.
CONNECTING TO VEHICLE BATTERY POWER
1. Connect the CB’s red POWER wire to a terminal in your
vehicle’s fuse box that has power only when the ignition
is in the ACC (accessory) or ON position.
2. Connect the CB’s black
POWER wire to a metal part of
the vehicle’s frame (chassis ground). Ô
