Hey everyone. I am somewhat new to the CB scene (like 3 months) and I am really sick of my antenna. I started out with a great radio and a short, cheap antenna and have regretted it ever since. I have been wanting to upgrade, but didn't want a second big antenna.
One day last week I was looking at different webistes and noticed that some companies (such as firestik) make splitters for CB antennas that allow you to get your AM/FM reception and CB from the same CB antenna. so here is my idea:
I want to replace my current factory AM/FM antenna with a ~4' CB whip and use a splitter to get my AM/FM.
Questions:
1. has anyone tried this or know how well it REALLY works?
2. (I have a '98 sport) Does anyone know of a good way to install the antenna without having to destroy the plastic "thing" (casing, or insulator, or random piece of plastic present only for asthetic or medicinal purposes) around the current antenna?
Any ideas would be great. and just an FYI, I am just a poor college student and can't afford anything over a $100 or so (sorry no HAM for me).
Thanks guys,
Joey
