Could this antenna be used for a CB radio?

It will probably work for short distances, but why waste your money on the wrong antenna?

It can be used to LISTEN on CB, But is NOT designed to be transmitted on with a CB. If you want to transmit with a CB, then Don't buy this antenna, buy a CB antenna.

I imagine it might work. The connection look similar, but I'm not really sure if it is the right design for the wave length. You might try asking some electronics or RF guru.

Yes. You will need a power supply or a 12 volt batt. with some sort of recharger if you want to go that route. You will need to attach the CB to some sort of cigarette plug and then that goes to your batt. source. Also...you will need a proper antenna. Put it up high as possible. Look at the base type antennas you can use here at AMAZON. Set up antenna correctly. Find out how my looking up on the web. Good luck!

Ot could be. You would have to possibly cut a couple of the antenna after you calculate what would be the proper length for that frequency band

No, it is not made for a radio, it's made to pick up HDTV. If you want to tweak it, buy it, take some wire cutters and attach the copper ends to the antenna and see if it works. Results vary based on where people live in the world.

There's no real answer for this question. It depends upon the terrain, weather conditions, solar radiation index, antenna, antenna ground, etc., etc., etc. But, it will do way better than a stock 4 watt CB set up.

Unless you have a very high attic, forget it since it is designed to be mounted in a verticle orientation. However, if you are creative, it would work as a flagpole. Actually, I got it to use on a few of the ham bands but I suspect it would work very well on CB. Don't use it with an amp as it isn't made to handle high power (but will work at 100 watts.)

I don't think it will fit above a TV antenna if you are using the ground plane kit. Without the ground plane kit it may work, but you are going to get interference into your television if you are using it.I mounted mine on a regular TV pole on the side of my house with the ground plane kit, only 25 feet tall. For 10 meter sideband it works fine long distance all over the world. For AM CB radio, you need to get it as high as possible above the roof. Email me direct if you have any other questions or I can send you a pic of the antenna.Matt Diridoni - KC6RUO matteod@comcast.net

That is the CB I'm using with it. You remove the rubber duckie, and attach the coax. It seems to me that having some sort of plug for the duckie mount would be nice, but you're on your own there.

CB is for citizens band. The range depends a lot on the antenna used, but mine was hooked to a company truck's antenna and I could pull in other truckers about five miles away.

well....sort of. i believe the wx part of your radio is for receiving of weather information...and in this case any antenna should be fine. the cb part of your radio will in fact love the 1000. i cant imagine that there is a separate connection for the weather band antenna...so...hook er up and get to talking.

from the factory it is a 10 meter radio so you would need a 10 meter antenna...the radio can be modified for export to operate on 11 meter...citizen band..cbI use a predator antenna. by cow town antennas

Probably, if your CB has a 'bnc' connector on the back, rather that a 'uhf' connector. In that case, it might require an adapter.

CB frequencies are 27 megahertz. FM radio works between 88 and 108Mhz. the amplifier would be so far out of its operating band Itwould not function

Yes, but as with any antenna placement is critical. I did not have very much luck in finding an adequate place to use this on my property and SWR's always were unsatisfactory. If you are planning to set up a CB radio base station and build an antenna then I recommend using a whip antenna and build your own ground plane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bolyErI2888. For a factory made antenna the Solarcon Antron 99 CB antenna with ground plane Antenna is hard to beat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMNYQJmKOtg

It will work with your CO radio. It is the same as a speaker. Your CB may not have enough power to utilize the 100 watt range but it should sound just fine.

The direct answer to your question is NO. The SWR feature on this radio calibrates the radio's meter and measures the SWR only. I do not believe a modern CB radio exists that will change the connected antenna system's Standing Wave Ratio via feature of the radio.

I'm not sure but I don't think so. I believe the antenna is only a receiver.
