Where did you mount your CB Radio?

[LWM]

Stupid question but just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. Is the ground from the cb unit or do you have to ground the actual antenna itself.

Unless you buy an antenna that is the non-grounded type, you must ground your antenna.

That's what I originally thought but how do I ground the window mounted type? From the box inside or the antenna inside and where at on whichever it is.

And how does it work now without a ground at all?

You don't ground our type of antenna. Thats one reason I took extra care in grounding the radio as its the only ground the system is working off of.

Thats what I thought. I couldnt think of any possible way to ground the antenna itself.

I grounded my wire somewhere different and I got much better quality and distance. Still only about a mile but that what you get when you buy a cheap antenna.

thats the funny part at an average of $30 for them there not cheap IMO it's the window mount design really limits the effectiveness

Yea impulse got the best of me on this one. I wanted it done now and look nice so I purchased the window mount rather than ordering a mount. Ill learn from that next time.

I've done the same thing bro with a few of my mods. The window mount I knew the limitations and what to expect out of it. I'll probably upgrade to a fire stick at some point there where a few times I needed the range not many but it's happened.

This is where I have mounted my CB Radio It is very easy to get to and is out of my way.
