base station cb radio

I want to know if I can use a rubber ducky antenna that is meant to be used on a hand held CB radio, on a base station CB for small range communications.

Radio shack used to sell. I do not know if they still do, a "back of set" CB antenna. I actually used one and it worked well for a mile or so.

The antenna (rubber duck) will work for extremely short ranges, but you need one made for CB bands.

You may wish to consider FRS, or eXRS for your communications, as they are handheld and use FM rather than noisy AM for communications. (provided you live in the USA) Europe uses FM for CB also.

CB base station and antenna put together from a mobile CB, a 102quot; SST whip antenna, and some CB shop / hardware store items. My experiences ...

I wanted to know how to make my regular cb radio into a base station like how do i set up the power on it?

You need a 12 volt power supply... only need a 2 amp output. Try a hobby store that sells electric trains.
Then buy a pre-amp mike and a huge 4 or 5 element beam and rotor... put it on your roof.

To be honest, CB radio is filled with profanity and conduct that no parent should allow his child to access. Make a judgment based on this. Get one yourself and listen for a while.

16 is the *minimum* age.

The seller says it is in (Perfect, Mint condition) Does anyone know about what year Cobra made that radio and how good of a radio is it?

I would imagine so that thing is 28 years old (same age as me) It is very rare so I am sure it is worth more than that.

It was made in 1978 honey
