Modifying A Military CB Antenna

By Mattie Knight


Changing the functions of this thing is something which you need to do with extreme caution. If not, you can damage the radio as well and you cannot get a replacement for that. This is why it is important that for you to familiarize with the process and stick with it even if you have always wanted to explore.

Painting this product is not allowed at all. Thus, just let your military CB antenna be and gain the approval of the officer in charge. You have no time to waste especially if you are going to be deployed in another mission in the next twenty four hours. Tardiness is not allowed in your line of work.

Do not exert too much effort on the base. It has to maintain the right level of tightness before you opened it up. Yes, you can be a little bit of short with that level but your main concern is not to let the base collapse. So, make measured twists and stop when one is already having doubts with what you are doing.

Only let a screwdriver remove the lid from the bottom. With the lid out of the way, you can already search for the cable. Thus, simply take your time and be certain that the cables have not been exposed beforehand since that can cause a friction between you and these objects which can be very dangerous.

Turn the fifth capacitor slowly with the use of your tools. Make sure that it is the correct nub buy moving clockwise from the cable. Also, know the power capacity of the antenna for you to match things up. Excessively turning the capacitor would only dull other frequencies and even lead your radio to blow up.

Have more than enough length for the cable which you shall be using. If your CB is a little bit far, you can make use of the allowance to finally make the connection. Also, be able to protect yourself by using the right gear. Do not touch any of the heated parts without the official materials for your safety.

Do not leave your station if there is still a gap between the cable and its respective destination. Mounting this thing is important too. Do not mix metal materials in one platform since that can really disrupt the reception that you shall be receiving. This can result to an accident that your headquarters will know nothing about. You might not get back in one piece.

Follow the adjustments you have to make to pass the SWR meter. This process may be tiring but this can keep you safe as you fight with the most notorious terrorists in the world. So, play by the book and only get out in the field once you already have the approval of your leader.

The lid at the bottom must be tightly closed after the modification. Air can be very harmful for wires. Thus, check the screws once again and do not hesitate to tape it up if you are confident that you already got everything right for the nth time.
