Title: cb tuning
Post by: 94_xj_country on March 13, 2008, 11:06:04 PM
does anyone know how to tune 2 antenna's at once? do you just do them one at a time?

I believe from what I've read, that you will have to adjust both of them at the same time in equal parts. It'll take twice as long with dualies than with just one  :|

Running duel antennas is really not a good thing to do. It can actually create a worse signal. In order to run duel antennas, the antennas have to be a certain distance apart from each other, otherwise the signals interfer with each other. Semi's can get away with it if they are running them an the end of their mirrors, but anything closer than that, it really serves no purpose but for looks.

one of the antennas is useally a dummy they are primarily for looks. one good wilson will go a long way i would just go with one and get a tripple magnet mount  center it on the roof with a good spring    i was really into cb's a while back and was good friends with a well known cb tech
