Do you have a video or if not an opinion on dual antennas? for reference, on a flat top peterbilt 379 with mirror mounted antennas

Drove 33 years for Buster Brown. Love the 2 way but hate all those knobs. Some of my friends would super glue the ones they felt were not needed.🦇

wire the positive & negative wires from warning alert harness into positive & negative speaker harness all 2gether & alerts come thru speakers without losing alert & ALL problems solved...thank me later

Appreciate all you do and I appreciate your videos are fantastic

Appreciate you putting this on I put it on my RUclips channel thank you all you do

Whit If its too tight and you need to loosen

What if your PTO is engaged causing the truck not to start ?

Excellent video thanks😊

Thankyou for this explanation. It was very helpful.

Here’s one for you. T800 with metal mirrors, with the antenna mount on the top bar I have room for 4’9” of antenna.(right at 13’6”). If I mount a longer antenna on the bottom bar, do you think it would give any better of performance?

Even 2 years later this info getting into the fuse area is still super helpful. Thank you.

Just a small point from a radio man - if you are running a single antenna, the coax should be as short as is practical to do so. Don't run it 'tight' but nothing too excessive. Using a 50 ohm antenna with 50 ohm coax to the 50 ohm output of the set, it is all matched and you will (if the antenna is tuned correctly) deliver full power to the antenna with a low VSWR and minimal reflections. Using two antennas is different. There are two different ways to set them up to work correctly however your description will do. The length of each feeder coax is critical and they should NOT be shortened or lengthened. There is another way to feed dual antennas but it involves much more coax which means you have to stash it somewhere, so stick with the two feeds as you describe. Otherwise, all good.

My fifth wheel had been put all the way back ( towards the truck) by someone. Very dangerous as we run empty ( less than 1000 pounds) often ( military contract- dedicated) Nearly flipped the trailer on a gusty day. Went back and realized fifth wheel was all the way back- centered the fifth wheel- two notches on either side and drove back into gusty wind- was perfect.

Wow, that’s a huge gain!

When you were using an analog meter, which setting do you leave the CB radio on?

I have used them all for the best is a Wilson 1000 magic mount with. Out a doubt talked skip all over the world

Hope you respond. I have a 40' motorhome. Has a fiberglass roof. Don't really want a tall antenna cause it's parked in a car port. What antenna and mount would you recommend? Thanks

Happen to have the part number or length on the ground wire?

My bed will go all the way up but will not hold in the hold position the bed lowers down & I have to lock in up then keep moving the lever!

Dual antenna's always look super cool.....they DON'T WORK WORTH A DAMN, without the correct spacing and phazing harness but who cares, so long as it looks cool right?

I have a cobra 29Ltd i installed in my older big rig. It has the original old coex cables. I installed dual antennas 4ft tall 1000watt. Something's dont seem right. My swr is 2.5 on channel 40 and 2 on channel 1. I'm also wondering if my coex cables are not good i think i should replace them. Do yku think i need to cut a little off the tip of antennas? With a dual antenna set up do you think i have certain cables like a 2 into 1? Thanks

Great video.im new to CB radios. I’m starting out with a cobra 19..what’s the recommended watt to turn them up to..

As someone who drives a modern cascadia with a large fiberglass roof fairing what antenna/mount location would you recommend? I do currently slip seat and I use a browning antenna with a “base” load coil mounted to the back of the cab on the horizontal grab bar it seems to work very well with my cobra 29 ltd classic with am/fm but would love some feedback back from someone with much more Cb experience/knowledge look forward to hearing back and learning

Not one you tube video showing freightliner sleeper speaker replacement

cobra 25 , small & simple

I'am Your Newest Subscriber do i win a mike

Good video and nicely explained.

Can you hook the alert wires to the speakers wires and it work?

Definitely learned a lot binge watching your vids got my Cb setup in my pickup perfected and learned a lot of how to make my big rig setup better too

LMAO it doesn't matter. LMAO!😇

So say you flip your switch without the clutch to check for the grind but you don’t hear a grind. Does that mean it’s not engaging? And if it’s not, how do you fix that?

Nothing works as well as the 102" steel whip

Hey got a question is the Wilson antenna with 10” extension good for 1996 Peterbilt mount on top arm on side mirrors?

Hey J, I have the factory cophase coax in my truck and i want to run a new single antenna, can I leave the old coax and install the new coax? Or would it be a problem?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, right now trying so hard to get this single antenna 6ft Skipshooter below a 2 SWR but am having major problems, my grounding may be the problem but when i hook up to the trucks stock dual antennas my SWR is below 1.5 with a 4ft fire stick on drivers side and a 3ft francis on passenger..I have a matching 4ft fire stick for the passenger side but could not get the SWR low enough..I have a lot of antennas so thats how I ended up finding out this setup WORKS FOR ME.

Western star 2024 uses passenger side cab antenna for radio as well :/

This video answered every single question I had. Thank you so much!

TEM BANDA USB E LSB?

10:46 you can adjust the squelch pot inside on the board and fix that

Damn, you made it simple, easy and cool. Thanks for the information.

Have you tried the center coil loaded Stryker antenna ? This isn't a magnet mount type ....thanks

Hi, hi, I just talked with a manufacturer of a US company that builds US made antennas called Driver Extreme,the 66" DRX -4661 top loaded coil antenna seems a possible better choice for the trunk mount as you said becouse I think it's higher than the roof line , Thanks

Thank you, I'm looking into a Stryker SR-A10 antenna. I have a 2011 crown Victoria police interceptor. I'm mounting it on the center trunk lid. Do you think the Stryker or a top loaded fiberglass will work better....thanks

102" Stainless whip all day long. Not for everyone's application depending on vehicle, but the best I have ever used. Mine was on the rear left corner of a 1980 Chevy van. The van became the directional ground plane by pointing it at my recieving station. However, it was as good or better than anything else even off the short side. With in-town interference very common, it recived and cut thru very well. Best SWR sensitivity ever. People say the 4' wrapped wire shorties are the same electrically, but only on paper. In the atmosphere, physical mass rules. I never has an issue with low overhang structures. I just drove thru slow. The whip is indestructible. A tennis ball slid onto it provided excellent protection for the van.

Find an old Telex Turner RK 56 not the new crap. Best mike I have ever used.

What a joke your changing the volts yes you put bigger wires but you turned up the volts a extra 2 volts

I have the Stryker trucker sr a 10 can I remove the extensions and have it work properly with the extensions it’s to high. I’d use the mag mount but my 2023 ford f 150 super crew is aluminum body

I don't usually follow people. But this guy knows what he's talking about. His presentation is awesome! What a great personality!

Are going to rf bond this truck?

The K40 is a piece of junk. I bought one and could not get the SWR down to something acceptable. They had a Little Will in the store, but only had pieces of it. I gave the K40 back right away and could not try the Little Will. I use a Browning CB antenna which I am very satisfied with. There is one thing, that gets me all the time that was not mentioned in this video. You cannot check your SWR when you are on sideband. SWR meters measure your carrier. Since there is no carrier on sideband, it cannot be done. I always forget to switch to AM when I tune an antenna. Oh well. And yes, the closer you are to 102 inches for the whip the better. 102 inches is a 1/4 wave on 11 meters.
