is it necessary to purchase a separate antenna to go with a Cobra CB radio?
worldpeace asked:
Wal-Mart just sells one CB radio, the Cobra ($35) and it doesn’t look like it comes with an antenna.

I’m assuming that means I’d need to purchase an antenna separately?
Are there any CB radios that come with a built-in antenna?
If I do need to buy one separately, what is a cheap one you would recommend for a car (not a truck), and where would I get it? Thanks.
There used to be an adaptor box to hook up a CB into your cars existing radio antenna.I used to have one but I don’t know if they are still made.Maybe Radio Shack? If not one will probably show up on ebay sooner or later.
no…car type CBs do not come with antennas. The reason for this is that one can purchase different antennas for different applications. Cbs also do not have internal antennas, except for hand held units.
For a vehicle..car OR truck…depends on what you want to do with this antenna and CB. Do you want the CB in there mounted for good? do you want to mount the antenna there for good? There are different types of mounts for CBs and antennas. Permanent and semi-perminant. I have my CB permantly mounted in my truck, and i’m going to use a magnetic-mount antenna so i can take it on and off when i use the CB or not.
No there arnt any that come with an antenna unless you buy a hand held, and most of the time there not worth the money you spend on them…..the best antenna for a car that is cheap is at radio
this is the short cut to the site it is 27.99 and worth it.
You must purchase a separate antenna. Radio Shack sells antennas under $30.
