is this antenna works good on handheld cb radio?

Works fine. You must have a standard CB outlet on your handheld. Cable and male end are on antenna. Magnetic mount can scratch paint when you remove antenna from vehicle. Be careful. . Rubber pad under the antenna is good. dentyl

I already had power and antenna (used to have business band radio 153.020mhz) did have to change the base load and tune antenna for cb frequencies. If you use lighter socket for power and a magnetic mount antenna should be done in short order. The business band required power feed directly from battery and drilling roof for roof mount antenna (overkill for cb).

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.

I use this antenna with a 5W handheld. My radio's performance with this antenna exceeds my expectations for range and clarity. The base magnet holds the antenna in place at any legal driving speed.

PROBABLY NOT as the FREQUENCY range (144 mhz / 440 mhz) this antenna is designed for is quite different from "CB" (27 mhz). Get you a SWR meter designed for the 2 meter and 70 cm HAM bands. They are readily available and quite inexpensive.

NO. The SWR meter for CB tops out at 30mHz. The SWR meters for VHF and UHF are different.

This antenna is a scanner antenna built to receive a large frequency range. It is not designed to transmit, only receive. The cable end connects to a scanner radio and is not correct to connect to a CB radio.

Just like with my portable digital TV, I suppose it should work as good o better being a simple FM radio signal is not as cluttered with information. The key is finding the correct adapter to connect. We watch TV at the beach 60 miles from the station, whose to say you cannot increase your FM Ange to 200 miles with this antenna.

No. If you want a radio for CB search for CB radio. There are a couple of hand held models, but most CB radios are mobile radios. These mobile radios could be used in the house with a power supply and antenna.

This antenna should work well. Be sure to properly tune the antenna and radio according to the instructions that came with your antenna and radio.

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

I never buy an off the shelf antenna. I always have them made custom for my equipment. There are several really good cb guys nationwide that do excellent work. The funny thing is their custom stuff is usually less expensive in the long run than the name brand crap on the shelf.

I would not buy this one again. It has worked loose and is very difficult to tighten back up. Had to pull off rubber cover of the feed wire and do some soldering and wire cutting. It worked OK. Just got a new one as a gift and will be using that one. Look for antenna that uses the same connector as the back of the cb radio

I'm not that well versed in hand radios, however the antenna shown does screw off and on. The spec says 50 Ohm impedance. It looks like some sort of standard interface. The options list in the handbook refers to a FA-SC58V antenna but that appears to be a direct replacement. Nothing else on the handheld that could be an auxiliary antenna port. Phil

Sorry... I don't know that CB radio... anyway It works great with my 4 pin Galaxy 2547 radio.

No. This model antenna is specific to UHF frequencies. For VHF at that distance, I'd recommend this <http://is.gd/OhpTQJ>.
