Using a standard car radio antenna to send and receive Citizens Band transmissions requires a few tweaks and measurements from a signal strength standing wave ratio meter. It is helpful but not entirely necessary to have an adjustable-height antenna that can be controlled from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. After mounting the CB radio a minimum amount of tools and time are required to get the best results.

Use the pliers and wrench to create a tight connection to the chassis of your vehicle. Writer Bio
