CB Tech

moe.taco · 07-26-2006, 10:33 PM

While in a search for a new quality CB antenna I was referred to this website by a friend who does that HAM radio thing. It breaks down pretty much everything there is to know. Excellent read to get the most out of comm. equipment on the road and trail.

Refer to fourwd1's links farther down:

I'm still undecided on which type of "Wilson" antenna to get though.

That is the most poorly written mix of facts and inaccuracies I've tried to read in a long time.

"What you are changing, is the impedance of the coax, that is working
against an impedance that is different than that of the coax"

I didnt get past this part

Whats wrong with it? I'm a stupid motherfucker with that crap. So, Instead of saying something is a piece of shit, how about givin me a hand with some good info. I'll then edit my first post and replace it with your better info.

Ummm... so instead of trying to understand whatever that site is getting at, you might want to pm Len about cb info he helped us out with ours. He might be a little busy with the baby but I'm sure he will get back to you with some simple, yet understandable info.

OK Pete, I'm a Ham and a RF Engineer, I'll try to answer any questions.
Ted and Kajo are Hams too, they can probably help.
