cb antenna mounts

Used to have a Cobra CB radio with a slide in bracket for easy release (so it don't get stolen), and the Moonwalker whip antenna was a twist & lock release. Haven't been able to find anyone who ever heard of such things. Makes me feel old!

www.rightchannelradios.com The Wilson 1000 CB antenna with roof mount is a quality antenna that boasts excellent performance. We review it in detail.

just got a midland cb radio. and need an antenna!! i fond one on ebay but it doesnt come with a mount. will any mount work?

I suggest you take a trip to Radio Shack or to a Truck stop. There are many different mounts for different applications. magnetic mounts usually come as a complete unit, however there are mag.mounts that accept threaded antennas. there are different bumper mounts, mirror mounts, etc....

I have a car.
I dont listen to the radio, I have it connected to my Ipod.
So I was wondering if there was a short (12"-25") cb antenna that could screw into the stock antenna mount.

Can I just take the stock radio antenna out and screw in the CB antenna?

Radio Shack use to sell a combination CB/FM antenna. Check there or EBAY.

The paint under my cb antenna always turns cloudy. How do i prevent this?

You might look into an extremely hard protective polish for your car. The high-tech coatings, like those used on aircraft, would be be best. It will probably cost you a few dollars in the beginning, but will protect your investment for years.

Here are a few links to browse; perhaps you can get some ideas.

I'm thinking about building a magnet-mount cb antenna. I have built antennas before for amateur radio, so I know a little bit. It's a magnetic-mount loaded whip antenna. I would like to know how to calculate how big to make the coil for the antenna. I want it base-loaded, if that matters.
~Thanks!

I took one apart the other day, base loaded, for 30 MHz
The coil was about 1.25 inch diameter
And 1 inch long with #16AWG enameled

Hope this properly answers your question
