Searching for cb antenna and cable - granny girl - 10-13-2021
I can't believe I keep putting this off.
I have a Cobra 1 WX ST. I want a good antenna with long reach. The cable I found has some negative remarks about quality but ok for the price. I don't see any costlier ones on amazon, which is my only option to get this done without forgetting it another year or ...
I don't want anything that will fail if needed. That will not be a time to try ordering a replacement.
Any suggestions? thoughts?

This pertains to Auto's, Trucks and in-house Base Stations.
You must use the best high quality 'Braided-Copper-Cable' you can find and the Best Antenna I use and still use is a
"Heavily-Grounded-Predator-Antenna"...But I still can't use it right now for my station because of heavy lightning and my close proximity to a huge transformer and a huge outdoor metal box/contraption of high voltage breakers. ((But You should be Good to Go, and even bounce off the ionosphere if not surrounded by the the kind of nonsense I have to put up with))
The Braided Copper cables can be found at most truck stops but most
only carry ChiCom copies of the 'Predator-Antenna' and they Will Not stand up to rigorous use or the elements, compared to the well made original.
