Antena removal

[az1103]

Can anyone tell me if the CB antena wire unplugs from the base of the antena or not? I don't want to just pull on it in case it's an integral part of the antena.

No, it does not unplug. You have to unplug it inside the black box under the trunk. It's a Motorola type connector.

Thanks, decided to put a SWR meter on it just to be sure....

It takes special cords, Motorola on one end, PL-259 on the other. I got mine at Walcott CB. Here's one. And here's the other. Like Freebird said, the connection is under the trunk in the CB box. Be sure and set everything back in place before taking the reading. Any metal mass matters.
