I have a 47 inch 2 meter ham radio stinger. Can I change out the CB stinger and use it for 2 meter ham radio?

I'm not sure. But I don't think you'll be able to tune it. A 2 meter antenna is a lot shorter than cb and the coil with stinger is 1/4 wave cb 108 inches. Don't know if you could tune it to 2 meter half wave maybe.

If by sat you mean the radio connection, then no, you cannot use the original radio, you would need to plug the antenna into the new radio in order to use it and you would probably need an extension for it. The new radio would need to have an integrated steering control option. The one i got was is on the cheaper side and although it says "steering control ready" it requires and external adapter for the that costs the same as the radio itself, so for me, I lost the steering control function.

You have to take it to a CB shop and have the radio converted then aligned.This radio is actually an amateur ham .

All antennas need tuning with a SWR meter when installing a new CB. You want the best reception, tune it. Local CB shop can do it or a local off road club has someone who CX a n help you.

No this radio does not have the capability nor should it be modified to access the 11 meter CB band

You can adjust the stinger up to reduce the swrs. Hope this helps. I've had great use of these antenna.

I didn't have a Sony but I just replaced my marine radio with this one and it worked out fine. They may all be a standard size.Good luck.

I don't see why not. The unit antenna out should match up with any cb antenna cably

No it channel is broke down five partial frequency.... Good radio. Just remember its a 10 meter. It does not have the same frequency's as a Cb.

This is not a CB, CB is in the 11m band these radios are in the 2m and 70cm band and only licensed Amateur radio operators are allowed to transmit on these frequencies. This radio is not for public use. Not even legal to use on FRS frequencies.

Should work. Check to make sure your radio is the 3 pin type. There should be 2 pins closer together and 1 farther apart. This is pretty much standard of all the CB's from the late 80's to present. I have seen a few with dual pin plugs or three pin plugs that was equally spaced but they a very easily identified as such.

Listen. Tweaked! Peaked and tuned idk? You can have any radio tweaked, take your cb to a guy/cb shop(the guy making announcments over the radio...) He will snip out the thing that only allows it to do only 4 watts and add a thingymajob to bump it up to 20, 30, 40 watts. Or...hook up a linear. Or...do both. FYI- Half of your radio is your antenna, put the ugly sticks under your bunk and get a pair of wilsons or k-40s or anything else...

I just viewed the ad and it appears that you need the adapter for use with a handheld CB radio.. Swede NA7SL

This antenna tunes the standard CB frequency range, 26.965 mhz to 27.405 mhz. You can tune it up into the 10 meter band, but as you shorten the antenna element, the bandwidth is reduced, the impedance moves away from the ideal 50 ohms, and the efficiency drops. Shortened CB antennas like this one are designed for short-range communication, (a few miles) so don't expect much range. While Wilson says it can be used on 10 meters, it's not going to work out very well for you.

You wouldn't replace the antenna internally, taking this radio apart. You are better off extending it fully and taking the little screw out of the pivot point by the base, taking care not to push it into the radio body thereby ruining your day and forcing a disassembly. At that point you can fit a taller antenna into the base, assuming the width of the spade is the same as the old one. However, if you put a longer antenna on you'll probably have some extending out of the body which is asking for trouble. My advice is leave it alone. If you must have more length just fashion a wire with an alligator clip at one end and clip it to the extended antenna. The stock antenna is fine for this unit.

First you need a SWR meter. The antenna tunes by the set screw and how far the whip is in the base. If you get a SWR meter it will have all the info on how to get the lowest setting possible. I bought the Workman but it dident come with the short antenna wire needed to set it. But once you have all the parts it's very simple. If you only have the one, it my be cost effective to find a CB shop. For a small price they will set it. Good luck hope I helped!

10m 6m 2m or 70cm depending on the band you want to use..... do you even have a ham radio license ?? if yes you should know the answer
