whats the advantages to having weather channels. i found a cb unit for $65 that has local weather, but i dont really think thats all that important. im just curious |
couple more questions,
1-has anyone ran a cb antenna as there am/fm radio antenna. i would assume you would have to get an adapter to connect the two. reason for asking is if it can be done, is to have symmetrical antennas on each front fender, one for cb and one for radio? 2-couldnt i mount a antenna to my roof rack? in this case i can run a 2ft antenna with a spring on the roof rack cross bar. i understand you need a good ground for the antenna, so you would use a ground strap from the base of the antenna to a good ground? |
You can run a cb antenna for your fm radio, you have to put a different connector on the cable so it can pop into the radio
|
One of the guys in our club has a liberty and the snorkel deletes the stock antenna, so he just used another firestik for his fm antenn.

I have CB antenna that is made to replace the radio antenna. It is tunable and has pigtails for both the CB and the radio. I had it in a previous vehicle and removed it. I haven't decided whether I will install it in the XJ yet.
