Scosche CB201 CB ANTENNA REVIEW

[darticus]

Are these any good. Seem to be very cheap in walmart. Is there anyway to check if the antenna wire is connected correctly without taking it apart. This is my second as the first ones plug was bad. This one make the CB sound very quiet and wondered if it is wired correctly. Don't trust them after two tried. Ron

I would stay away from cheap CB Antenna's they are not much better than putiing a wire out the window 20 30 bucks go get a lil wilson or something along those lines .A much better antenna and you will RX and TX better .But I think you can use a ohm meter to test it .A swr meter will tell you if something is wrong by high swr reading

Piece. Of. Junk. I got one, it worked for a day, then the top whip part fell out (I tightened the screw all the way, it just came loose). Tried retightening it, it stripped the hole. The only part I still use is the base, the rest is in the garbage. Don't waste your money, the Little Wil is a much better antenna.
