CB Aerials

What have you got?

I need one that isn't magnetic as mine needs to :stopbeing:

It keeps falling over at high speeds or at the very first sight of a branch due to its crappy magnetic base

I was wondering if brackets exist whereby I can attach it to my roof rails on a clamp maybe

Show me some examples because this one is going in the bin

only problem with it is it will predominantly radiate back wards, but briggie can tell you more about that, Rick

if its backwards people in front wont hear you very well :lol

Briggie has a mag mount that will not be dislodged by anything, Rick

I've one of these in the middle of the roof

gotthegift.co.uk/index.php/cb-radios/aerials-/-antennas/sirio-turbo-800s-blue-line-antenna-kit/p_458.html

I mounted it just behind the interior light where there's a bracing rib and used a bit of alloy plate under the roof to spread the load a bit. It folds 90° to the roof if you need to get into a garage or car park etc. I've used sirio arials on tractors for years and they get a fair bit of abuse battering off trees and shed doorways and the like. They aren't the cheapest but I can't fault the quality.

Never had a problem with my mag mount TBH as it's never come off after being hit & stopped still on the roof at 110mph with a 7ft bull whip fitted to it:augie When I fitted the roof rack & light bar on my last T2 I got a panel mount & fitted it to the light bar. Have a look at this link as there are a few options on there for you to ponder over:thumbs https://plus.google.com/photos/106166290292654336924/albums/5431347902332241825?banner=pwa

beauty innit rick ? . that has held a 10 foot aerial at motorway speeds ( maybe a bit more :augie )

[briggie]

the placing of a aerial has more to do with swr and reception , than transmission .

although the radiated signal will be affected somewhat by the placement

Im using a large mag mount with a large springer aerial. Its mounted in the centre of the roof for best performance.

I have one that clamps on to the roof bars. it was on the car when I got it
no use to me , you can have it if you pay for the postage!

 

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

got a mini stinger on a modern mag, rock solid middle of roof for good ground plane

the ebay spare wheel mount will push more signal forward due to more metal work
in front of it

potentially some of body will be in front of aerial which will interfere with signal.

id say get a good mag, centre of roof, and just climb up and pull it off when in multi
storey etc.

fastened to a roof rail will bias the signal towards other side of car. and if hits something
at speed do more damage.
