this is what im running but if i were you i would get some medium duty springs

 

yeah, id rather have medium duty, i want one that gives alot just incase

 

i know i asked about this in the other thread but how the heck yall running dual antennas with out it interfering with each other??? Im running a superstar 121 hi/low cb. i use to run a 102" whip and i would pickup the hunt club from 10-15 miles away. i actually just got a 6 foot barjan and hope it will reach just as far as the 102" whip

 

ya when i got mine they didnt sell any medium duty springs so i just got heavy duty springs.

but i worry about them hitting trees because they dont flex very much

 

if the antennas are at least 8 ft away from each other they wont interfear.

but like xtreame22r is doing and what in going to do is run one to your cb and you can get an adapter to run the other to your radio

 

i gotcha man. i never really understood that thanks for explaing. lol

 

hey sorry i didnt get back to ya, i read somewhere that the firestiks are rated the best antenna for close proximity interference. they dont inrerfere at all really on a full size, but since the yota is smaller i do lose some fange and have a higher then normal swr. my swr is about 1:6 , i dont think thats too bad, plus i like the dual look. it does interfere, but nothing serious, at most im only losing abot 1-3 miles, wich isnt much kinda, my swr is up only by like .3 so thats not too bad i guess.

ya on the box for my barjans it says they have to be at least 8ft away or they will interfear with each other

 

lol, mine says keep atleast 2/3 of the anenna above the roofline lol!!

the thing i like about my antennas is they are really easy to tune, you aint gotta cut'em, theres like a screw on the top, you jst screw it in or out, to lengthen or shorten the whip, then when ur done you just put the cover back on, its super easy

 

idk how to tune mine but i lost both my covers they both fell off

 

as long as the swr is under 3. anything under that is ok but 1 bieng the best. also running duals on a pickup is almost near impossible to get a 1 so that 1.3 is awsome for a yota. alot of people dont realize your swr is the only thing that matters when it comes to gettin out and recieving. anything above 3 could possibly ruin your cb. so i would recomend that if you dont know what your doin and have an expensive radio and kicker dont hook it up and just think that because it talks means your in the clear. just ask around somebody should have an swr meter especially older folks.

 

what if i tuned my cb using a radio that has an swr meter, and then i plugged my antennas into a different radio after i tuned them, would that make the swr change drastically??

lol i did that to my freinds truck...

 

...i dont mean to brag, but i got a cobra 25wxnwst off ebay for $50...

my other best deal was a cobra 148wxnwst (extremely rare, limited production radio) off ebay for $110.

ive had no luck with antennas though...lol

 

yea it could change a good bit depending on the cb's if they were both the same brand and close to the same size you would be okay but otherwise it will probably still be off.

 

eh 10-4, i dont care its not my radio, haha...for mine i used an inline swr meter thats like 500 years old lol

 

yea thats what i have too. its a sears and robuck swr meter. got it from my grandad. it works good too. its hard to find a cb shop anymore so i just learned how to do all this myself and with some help of my grandad. i setup all my friends radios and kickers and all kinds of antennas but in my opinion the wilson trucker 5000 antenna set up as duals that is one serious talkinn radio then. thats what i used have on my Z-71 with a 350 watt kicker man that thing would talk

 

i finally got my cb in but not hooked up yet lol

 

what cb you got in?? the new uniden?

 

no i have an old relistic ill get pics when my camra battery charges lol
