There are many types of mobile CB antennas: a full quarter-wave length
whip, a center loaded whip, top loaded whip and the base loaded type. For
a greater efficiency it is recommended 2.5 m long, full quarter-wave whip.
Antenna length is directly related to efficiency.
A vertically polarized whip antenna is best suited for mobile service. It is
omni-directional.
Roof mount is the best ever as in this position the antenna radiates equally
in all directions.
WARNING: To avoid damage, never operate your CB radio without con-
necting a proper antenna. A periodical control of the cable and of the
S.W.R. is recommended.
