Hey guys,
I am new to the forum and the CB world in general. I was given a Uniden Pro520XL and I just got everything I need to install everything. I am still waiting on the tuner, but I can at least install everything and just wait to power it up. I have a FireStik II FS5 with the tunable tip, FireStik heavy-duty spring, FireStik Heavy Duty SO-239 Stud Mount, 18' of CB Antenna Cable, and a Uniden 15-watt speaker. The tuner I ordered is a Astatic PDC7 with the 3' Jumper.
Here is what I need to know. What would be the best place to mount the antenna to? I do not want to drill any holes in my roof. Other than that, I am open to putting it anywhere. Also, I will probably end up building my own mounting bracket for the stud mount. Is aluminium good enough or should I just go for steel? I know that it needs to be grounded, so I will be sure to keep that in mind.
Thanks in advance for the advice!!
