If want to mount your new CB Radio somewhere else in your vehicle you should first find a suitable place to mount it. However try to remember that the internal speaker is in the bottom of most radios and you might not be able to hear it very well, especially in noisy vehicles.
The best way around this is to use an external speaker which can be mounted anywhere in a vehicle all CB's that we sell have an external speaker socket All CB radios have different features, these help you to communicate more easily and efficiently. If you are new to CB these names will probably mean nothing to you.
However we have a page on this site that explains each of the features in plain English, to get to that page click here. Generally the more expensive the radio the more features it has. What's in the Box? And it all comes in a small, compact package for easy installation. A close runner-up is the Uniden , which we've already talked about. If you want an affordable, no-frills radio that will last forever, the is a great choice. But if you'd like to get the most features possible for your dollar, you can't go wrong with the Midland LWX.
While we've made a few references above to what radios work best for different vehicles types, we've broken it out below as well. Own a Pickup Truck or Jeep? RF Gain? Sorry, what? If you haven't been around CBs before, some of the features and lingo may be confusing. We'll explain what the different radio features and buzz-words mean below: Squelch Control - Sets the break-point at which a CB radio outputs a signal.
In effect, it keeps the operator from constantly having to listen to static and only activates the speaker when a transmission is received. This is a standard feature and is included with nearly every CB radio sold. RF Gain - Allows the operator to filter the type of transmission a CB radio receives based on signal strength. This feature can also be used to pull-in and better hear weak signals. PA Capability - Allows use of the CB radio and microphone as a transmitter for a public address system.
This requires a PA horn usually not included that can be mounted under the hood or on top of the vehicle. Automatic Noise Limited ANL - Filters out static, engine noise and other interference from the reception signal to improve reception sound quality.
Weather Capabilities - CB radios with this feature have the ability to access local NOAA radio stations for real-time weather reports and updates. This is an invaluable feature if a radio will be used extensively at night or in dark conditions. Channel Scanning - A CB channel scanner works just like a radio scanner. It scans all of the available channels looking for activity.
When it finds people talking on a channel, it stops scanning and lets you listen in. This makes it much easier to fine and tune into discussions without always having to manually be flipping through the channels. For others to be able to hear your transmissions - and reply - they'll also need an SSB equipped radio, so you may not be able to communicate with everyone at 3x the range.
However, all SSB radios can operate on standard CB channels at the regular 4 watts if you can't find any SSB buddies and it's a great choice if you're outfitting a fleet of vehicles and maximum range is important. We specialize in rugged CB installs for trucks, Jeeps, 4x4s, construction equipment and other beefy vehicles.
We're the nation's 1 source for heavy-duty CB needs, a reputation we earned the hard way: by giving more than 30, past customers the outstanding service they deserved. Some higher-end radios may include a feature that can display transmission and reception strength. This can also include standing wave radio or SWR antenna readings. This feature helps identify potential antenna problems. Selecting the right radio is reliant on what features you are looking for and what you are willing to spend.
You have to consider the style, type, how tall the antenna is and where it will be mounted. Fibreglass antennas can be mounted lower on a vehicle while also being budget-friendly. This type of antenna is designed to handle more power and are made to house a heavier gauge wire coil, unlike fibreglass antennas. Characterised by a boding coil on the lower housing, this antenna allows for easier installation, because of this however mounting positions are limited.
See our range of UHF radio antennas. When selecting an antenna, it is also important to make sure the mount is also sturdy enough to support it. A small roof magnet mount would be suited for a short fibreglass antenna.
