CB Antenna

Note

Cobra loaded-type antenna models HGA 1000,HGA 1500, and HGA 2000 are highly rec- ommended for most installa- tions. Consult your Cobra deal- er for further details (or see order form at the back of

this book).

3-Way Combination Antennas are available which allow oper- ation of all three bands (AM-FM

&CB),using a single antenna. However,use of this type of antenna usually results in less than normal transmit and receive range when compared to a standard-type "Single Band" antenna designed for CB only.

OFF

CB Antenna

Only a properly matched antenna system will allow maximum power output.

In mobile installations (cars, trucks, boats, etc.), an antenna system that is non-directional should be used.

When installed in a boat, the transceiver will not operate at maximum efficiency without a ground plate unless the vessel has a steel hull. Before installing the transceiver in a boat, consult your dealer for information regarding an adequate grounding system.
