Blue88Comanche Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I have a bearcat 880 CB I plan to install just had a couple questions before I get started. Where did you find the best antenna location? I’m currently thinking I’ll mount it to my toolbox or the the truck bed near the cab. I read an article that suggested placing the antenna on he driver’s side vs in the center. What are your thoughts? For the cable I think I’ll use RG8x cable. Would you suggest a different cable and why if so? What is the outside diameter of the standard connector fitting? I’m looking at blue sea systems clam grommet to provide a waterproof seal for the cable to pass into the cab. As for the antenna I’m looking at the firestik 5’. They seem to have a good range and are very durable. Would a antenna Spring be suggested? Thanks for you input and suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
