Dual band antennas provide optimum reception of CB and WX channels. For mobile installations (car, boat), a non- directional antenna provides the best CB reception. Mobile antennas use your vehicle’s metal body as a ground plane. If the CB is installed in a boat, your boat’s steel hull is used as a ground plane. Without a steel hull serving as a ground plane, you will not receive maximum efficiency. Before using your CB in a boat, consult with your boat dealer regarding an adequate grounding system.
