dynodon Posted April 1, 2011 #1 Posted April 1, 2011 I managed to break the antenna on my '86 VR today right at the CB load (wide part). Anyone have the entire antenna shaft where it screws into the mount that they would part with for a reasonable amount? Thanks for your help.
utadventure Posted April 1, 2011 #2 Posted April 1, 2011 Best thing I ever did was to install the Firestik 4' with tunable tip. Dave
dynodon Posted April 1, 2011 Author #3 Posted April 1, 2011 How did that work with the regular radio?
utadventure Posted April 1, 2011 #4 Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I removed the splitter and install a two antenna system, but, it should work just fine. Dave Edited April 1, 2011 by utadventure
Bob Myers Posted April 5, 2011 #5 Posted April 5, 2011 After splitting them I would surmise they both work better? AM doesn't like the loaded whip, FM reception is quite diminished too, and Cb is at a loss before you even turn it on with all the splitters/combiners and loops and coils. 2 antennas are the best for ultimate reception. The CB does however like the center loaded coil for transmitting, It effectively makes it a "no groundplane" antenna.
