CB radio question and suggestions


Recommended Posts

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!
