Frequently Asked
Questions about
CB Antennas
Q The antenna I bought claims to be pretuned. Do I need to do anything?
A Yes. You must tune your antenna to
your vehicle. The antenna is pre-tuned on
a test bench to make certain it is within the general frequency
specifications. It will be somewhat different on your vehicle
because of the difference in the ground plane and surroundings. Always check your antenna ... even if you move it from
one location on your vehicle to another.
Q Can I use any kind of wire to hook my antenna to my radio?
A No! For single antenna installations we recommend RG-58
A/U type coaxial cable. If you are running dual antennas (cophased) you must use RG-59 A/U type coax. Make sure you
buy the best cable too. We see numerous problems caused by
low grade coax. Don’t cut corners when it comes to coax.
Q Is the length of the coax cable important?
A We find that it is very important ... especially with high
performance top-loaded antennas. Your safest bet is to use 18
feet (5.5 meters) coaxial leads on all of your CB installations.
9
A Unless you are using a no-ground plane system, it is extremely important. Ungrounded mounts will usually cause
SWR to be high across all channels.
Q I have a couple of different antennas and I’ve noticed that
there are times when one works better over long distances than
the other. However, it isn’t consistent, Why is this happening?
A Every antenna design has a different angle of radiation
and it stays pretty constant unless the antenna is moved.
What keeps changing is the ionosphere height. Your signal is
bouncing off of the ionosphere and the varying height of it
changes the angle at which the signal bounces back to earth.
You have no control over this. An antenna might work long
distances on one day, and not the next.
Q I’ve tried to find some books that will teach me how to set my
SWR, process coax connectors and offer some tips on antenna
installations. Most of what I’ve seen is pointed towards the
engineer or technician. Do you know where I can find some help
that is written in layman terms?
A We know the problem. Firestik wrote a simple book titled
“Measuring SWR and Things Every CB’er Should Know” to
help you better understand antenna installations. The entire contents of that publication is available on our web site
(www.firestik.com) under various headings that are accessible
from our Tech Help page. Printed copies are available from
the factory for $3.00.
Q I only needed 9 feet of coax to go from my radio to my antenna. How should I handle the excess?
A What ever you do, do not roll it into a small convenient
coil. It will become an RF choke. If you cannot let it lie loose
under a seat or in a headliner, wrap it into a yarn-like skein of
about 12 to 16 inches, put a wire tie in the center and tuck it
under your dash, seat, etc.
Q My system has very high SWR, but I only talk very short
distances. Since distance isn’t important, should I be concerned
about high SWR?
A Absolutely! High SWR limits distance and may cause serious damage to your transmitter. The time spent tuning your
antenna is time well spent. Don’t take the chance.
Q What is/are the most common errors you find on CB installations?
A In order of most to least common, 1) antenna not tuned
to vehicle, 2) mounting locations chosen for convenience or
appearance versus effectiveness, 3) coax cable ... low quality, worn out, wrong length, or severely pinched, 4) standard
antennas used on vehicle with no ground plane instead of
special no-ground-plane system.
Q There are a lot of different antennas available for CB. Are
some better than others?
A Without a doubt, top loaded antennas are better than
center loaded antennas, and center loaded antenna are better
than base loaded antennas. Also, within each style, the taller
the antenna the better it will generally perform.
Q How important is it to have the antenna mount grounded to
the vehicle?

Answers to You’re in Movie Country: MOAB! Puzzle from Page 12
The Moab Easter Jeep Safari was started in 1967
by the Moab Chamber of Commerce as an
attempt to promote something new
for our economy.
With the help of the BLM and their dozer a
handful of Chamber members worked to
connect the road to Hunter Canyon with the
road to Pritchett Arch. Pritchett Arch Trail was
the 1st and only trail that year.
I’ve been told about 80 participants showed up
that year. It was such a success more trails were added the next year including
Moab Rim. The Chamber ran the Safari thru 1984, when the BLM requirements including a permit made it impossible to continue. With the help of a
small new 4-wheel drive club (Red Rock 4-Wheelers) the transition
was complete. RR4W ran their first Jeep Safari in 1984; we barely had enough
members for trail leaders, lost money that year, but the bug had bitten us all.
By 1985 we were more organized and printed our first Jeep Safari Paper. Then
the Safari was a few hundred participants on big Saturday only and the Club
was about a dozen families.
Now the Safari is over 9 days and includes 30 trails and the Club has grown
to over 600 members. We have seen many changes over the years, some
good, some bad. One thing hasn’t changed: We still enjoy sharing our love of
4-wheeling with our old and new friends as much now as we did back then.
