Antennas
CB Antenna
Since the maximum allowable power output of
the transmitter is limited by the FCC, the antenna
is critical in affecting transmission distance. Only a
properly matched antenna system will allow maxi-
mum power output. Cobra loaded type antenna
models are highly recommended for most instal-
lations. For models with Weather Feature (WX),
a Dual Band (Center Load/Base Load) antenna
is recommended. Consult your Cobra dealer for
further details, or call 773.889.3087 and speak to a
Cobra representative.
Marine Installation
The transceiver will not operate at maximum
efficiency in a boat without a ground plate,
(unless it has a steel hull). Before attempting
installation , consult your dealer for information
regarding an adequate grounding system and
prevention of electrolysis between fittings in the
hull and water.
CB Antenna
Note
For optimum performance in
passenger cars the ideal anten-
na location is on the center of
the roof. Second choice is on the
center of the trunk.
Note
Because many newer trucks
feature fiberglass door skins,
the outside mirror must be
grounded to the chassis via a
ground strap, if the antenna is
mounted on the mirror bracket.
Note
3-way Combination Antennas
are also available which allow
operation of all three bands
(AM-FM & CB), using a single
antenna. However, this type
of antenna usually results in
less than normal transmit and
receive range when compared
to a standard-type “Single
Band” CB antenna. Call 773-
889-3087 for further informa-
tion.

A standard antenna connector is provided
on the transceiver for easy connection.
