Will the Browning BR-180 Dual-Band Amateur Mobile Antenna work with my Cobra Ultra III radio giving it a stronger signal or greater distance?.

This dual band antenna is made for 144 MHz and 440 MHz band withs. Your cobra is a 27 MHz radio, this will actually hurt your signal and distance. I suggest a Wilson "little wil" or a larger Wilson 1000. Wilson makes great suff, as many do. I would find an antenna in the 26-28 MHz range, I prefer wire over fiberglass. Hope this helps.....

No it will not. This antenna is for the 2 meter and 70 cm amateur radio bands. It will not work for CB.

Unfortunately the antenna is used for 144 and 430 MHz , not CB frequencies.

I'm only using 4w (FCC reg.) on a Cobra 18 WX ST II in Red Bank, SC and have reached Gaston, SC 10 miles away.. With only a 3ft version. I put my Antenna up about 13ft, and have a large ground plane. All Homemade.

The mount model is Browning BR-1035-UHF 3 5/8 (nominal diameter of mount base) Magnet NMO MOUNTING With Rubber Boot (As listed on packaging). And yes the BR-180 Amateur NMO Dual Band antenna will fit. Any NMO antenna will fit any NMO mount. I have both the mount and the antenna on my vehicle and they are well made and the magnet is very strong. Good combination, IMHO.

For transmitting (TX) - NO WAY, you will have a SWR that will burn the finals out in the non-CB radios.For receiving (RX) on the other bands - just about any antenna will work to -some- degree; the closer the band the antenna was designed for (in this case the 11 meter / 27 MHz band), the better.

I wish I could assure you that it's better. I have no experience with the RCA ant. I Live 57 Mi. from towers, and not in the best area for reception. This antenna is pretty directional, so I have a rotor. According to antenna web, I shouldn't get any channels. I get UHF, but VHf is very weak. No one seems to have a combination antenna, without it being very large. If I were a little more mechanical, I would build a hooverman style or fractal.

yes it will work with no problem, just adjust your swr and your ready to go. this antenna will work fine on 11 and ten meter and even 12 meters.

Yes it will, Cobra uses the same mount for most of its radar detectors. This one also satisfy the list.

It would work for cb channels mostly. You might get marginal reception with it on the higher VHF bands for police and fire. You would be better off get a dedicated vehicle scanner antenna that is designed to receive multiple frequency bands.

James,An additional comment on the NA-771: I am getting very good reception across the VHF band on the BF-F9V2+ with this antenna (136 - 174MHz). The greatest confirmed range (65+ miles) thus far has been at 136 MHz, but that is only because I can pinpoint the source of the signal. There may be comparable reception at higher frequencies in the band, but I have not been able to confirm the location source. In any case, the dB gain provided by the NA-771 clearly improves the transmit/receive range of the radio.

Mine is working very well with NOAA frequencies on my Jeep Wrangler. For receiving antennas, the exact length (as related to the SWR) is usually not very important as long as it's not extremely 'out of range.' Of course for transmitting antennas the SWR is VERY important and an imprope match can quickly burn-out your transmitter. This basic principle is why the same antenna can work well on CB frequencies (with the proper SWR match) and also work well on the considerably different NOAA frequencies.

I bought my Astatic D104 new to go with my Cobra 148-GTL. Get nothing but good to excellent reception reports over the last 20 years. Set your radio, antenna and mic up right and I suspect you'll get the same.

I was told that those antennas weren't very good by the people at Solid Signal. In any case, I'm in a fringe area and have an antenna designed to pull in signals from 60-70 miles. The Motorola Booster will only amplify what it gets from the antenna. There are times when I have 100% signal strength and there are times when most channels disappear completely. A mast mounted pre-amp may help with signal strength to the booster. The booster is really meant to feed into a splitter to distribute a signal to multiple sets. It can't create what isn't there. Mine is in my attic and feeds four rooms. When there is signal from the antenna, it works fine. I bought a pre-amp for the antenna but haven't installed it as yet.

First, I did not buy this model, but XRS 970G. After a year, it failed to work. In addition, they do not make this model anymore. Further, any radar with a GPS, which mine had, does not work. I will strongly suggest that you do not buy any Cobra radar with a GPS.

I tried it on my Cobra cb radio and i could. Hear. But not talk. It works great with gmrs/frs radios

I'm using this antenna with the cobra 25lx radio and I get about 2 miles during rush hour traffic, it also depends on the equipment others are using. Hope this helps

The A-99 is a good antenna and well worth its price. You can adjust the SWR so it will work 10 and 12 meters, or you can also use a antenna tuner to operate 15 and 17 meters. It really has problems on 20 meters the antenna is too short, it will receive well on 20 meters though. Remember that this antenna is designed for use on CB. But it can be used on other bands using a antenna tuner.

There aren't any Midland CB antennas, so I'd go for the Cobra HGA1500. It seems that it'd work with the Midland, but some of the reviews say that you might get the HGA 1000 instead, so be prepared for either. They both seem to be at least somewhat decent.
