The alternator and ignition system in your vehicle
may limit your ability to receive low signal levels.
Other noise interference can be the result
of several different installation variables. Consult
your Cobra dealer or a 2-way radio technician to
help locate and correct the source of severe noise
interference.
CB Antenna
For the most reliable
operation and maximum
range, Cobra recom-
mends using a vertically
polarized, quarter wave
length whip antenna
(illustration A).
Shorter, loaded-type
whips are adequate when
maximum range is not
required (illustration B)

Mobile installations (cars,

the Connector Box for easy con-
nection to a standard PL-259
cable termination.
Cobra antenna models are
recommended;see your
local CB dealer or order directly
from Cobra.See order form
