Do I need the antenna adapter for this to attach to my handheld Midland CB? I see that all 3 are bought together (Amazon auto suggest anyway)

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

I would take the advice of the seller below (MST CO.) and not use this with the antenna you purchased. For any one else who has an outdoor antenna, this amplifier works wonderfully. My parents live almost 90+ miles from a television trans. tower and finally have great reception. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yeah, you need two and two adaptors. I'd look for a better antenna setup if I were you. I have this and it really didn't do much at all (I'm a ham radio operator too, so I know what a 9 dBi boost does...) It might be fairly cheap and easy, but is not much gain. a planar setup with booster would be light years better.

It's for a vhf radio I don't believe it will work for a cb. You can mount it on an angle as it is adjustable.

Yes I think this antenna will work fine. As always with CB radio the longer and higher the antenna the better it works. I think this is the smallest you can go without having any problems.I have this on my car for CB only and it tunes easy and works fine. The range is about 3 to 5 miles on a good day.

Good question. I know the CB portion will work. It is one of the best I have ever had and very easy to tune, but as far as the AM and FM bands, I don't know. I am pretty sure you have two coax cables coming out of your radio. One for the standard radio and one for the CB. I probably did not help you.

That is the CB I'm using with it. You remove the rubber duckie, and attach the coax. It seems to me that having some sort of plug for the duckie mount would be nice, but you're on your own there.

Mine came with the faceplate mounting adapter & cables necessary to install it in an automobile. You will need to purchase an antenna & antenna cable to make it automobile operational. If you wish to use it as a base unit, you will need to buy a power supply, exterior VHF/UHF antenna, & a suitable length antenna cable. I recommend a J-pole from Arrow Antenna, Cheyenne, WY, or build your own!

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.

You will not need an adapter if you have. an after market radio, you probably will with a stock radio.

If you want this antenna you would need a "BNC Female to SMA Male Plug Coax Adapter". Just type this in on Amazon and you will find one for around $4.00 or $5.00. Remember that using an average adapter can cause signal loss in the neighborhood of 50%. A similar antenna on Amazon with a BNC connection is the "Accessories Unlimited AUSCAN3 16 Inch Magnet Mount Scanner Antenna". Research this one and see if this may be a better choice for you.

The radio requires a F-SMA antenna, so you will need an adapter that has a F-SMA connector on one end and probably a SO-239 connector on the other end (if you are using a normal mobile antenna with a cable). I strongly recommend you get a F-SMA to SO-239 cable (instead of a one-piece connector adapter) because the one-piece connector adapters can put a lot of stress on the HT's connector, and over time, cause you many SWR issues.

I'm sorry I only use the SWR meter to align my Cb antenna, I'm sure you could Google the meter model, and find the answer.

No it will not without an adaptor...this antenna has an RCA Plug on it...that's the way it comes...works perfectly with Midland weather radios...

no adapter should be needed it plugs inline with your antenna and then a 12 volt power connection

This antenna is not listed as to be compatible with any CB Radios. Works with cellular (806 - 894 MHz) and PCS (1850 - 1990 MHz) bands.

No, I think you've gotten the wrong idea. It comes with battery packs. The adapter is to your power outlet (cigarette lighter) in your vehicle. There is a separate antennae hookup that you attach the short rubber antennae to. You can't hook a vehicle FM antennae to it. You'd need a actual CB antennae to get further range.
