I'm new to the forum as well as using a CB. I have a Cobra 29 LTX mounted on my truck with a magnetic base. I tow a 5th wheel and find the CB convenient for contacting traveling friends and others. For instance last year in Maryland on our way to DC the shackle on the curb side of the trailer broke and the axel slide back and was rubbing on the rear wheel. Smoke was evident to some truckers who contacted me and guided my wife and I to safe stopping place. This is the primary reason for me having a CB.
I have a question regarding the antenna on the truck. It is approximately 4 feet. My 5th wheel is just shy of 13 feet. Can I improve sending and receiving? If so, what length and type would be best for me?
Appreciate any suggestions, comments and advice. I look forward to following the various chats/questions comments available on this forum.
Thanks
