AM or FM MODULATION BETTER FOR OFF-ROAD TRAIL COMMS

[nokones]

A lot of it. It also has big mountains and big holes in the ground.

And lots of huge rocks right in your way.

That looks great! That SWR is about as good as you can do, so nice job. What radio are you running? Just curious as I’m contemplating putting a CB back in my Subaru. I’d obviously get one with AM/FM and DNR. It would be great to have SSB but I’m not aware of any small radios that also do SSB. Please post an update when can.

Cobra 25 LTD Classic AM/FM

that really looks fantastic! I can't wait to see how it works..... I "think" that is the best CB antenna you can put on a jeep.... why do you need to put the same antenna C27 on the avalanche? why not put a really good and cheap magnet mount on it just for testing??? ... I hope your CB range test shows what a CB can really do... maybe I'll be surprised and the Firestick will be better.... but I'd love to see the C27 and a really "known" great working magnetic cb antenna,... a magnetic antenna on the roof of the avalanche will be higher and centered... meaning it will recieve and transmit in all directions.... if you do the C27 on both hoods you're going to be more directional
whatever you do it will be great to see the results
Tram 3500 at Target for $55 bucks with free shipping... it's certainly not the best antenna.... but for testing that jeep I think it would work really well..... again beautiful jeep!

The mag-mount on the Avalance will be mounted on the center of the roof as before.

I find antennas mounted on Mojave hoods work better than Rubicon hoods.

Since, I have a tuned suspension, I guess I could just remove the "Rubicon" decals on the hood and stick on the "Mojave" decals and that should help with getting the better Farz.

I hope I didn't discourage you from the Radioddity CS-47????? putting out 8 watts is HUGE .... and 15 watts on FM that has got to kick some serious ass.
you will never get anything smaller... and for under a $100 bucks... I wouldn't hesitate... I'm sure you will get used to the squelch as a up and down button... ( I only used it for a couple hours.... and really just couldn't get used to it.... but that's just me)
if you buy it on Radioddity it's $75.99 with very cheap shipping... shipping to Massachusetts was only $500!!!!! that is an AWESOME DEAL

Radioddity CS-47 One Hander CB Radio | LCD Mic with Built-in Speaker | 7-Color Backlit | AM/FM | RF Gain | VOX

Radioddity CS-47 has most of the features common to other CB radios, including an adjustable backlit seven-color handheld microphone, built-in microphone speaker, AM/FM modulation, VOX, and active noise cancellation. It is a very cost-effective one hander CB radio for outdoor and off-road scenarios.

well I went on google and got a $10 off code .... use ...........Radioddity10 .............. and it took $10 bucks off.... so it was $65.99... and I just couldn't pass it up... and my friend needs a small radio for his Jeep so I guess I just bought him a CB .... not sure how 8 watts Am will help.... but that 15 watts on FM is got to work pretty well! and with the NRC... it has got to make a great Jeep radio.
so my next video will be the Radioddity CS-47

Nokones, a Cobra 25 Classic simply would not fit in a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek.

Try a Cobra 19 DX III. They're a lot smaller but they are only AM modulation.
