Be careful about taking the excess coax cable and rolling it into a circle. it could create a feed back loop or a balun choke. It is usually better to figure 8 it, zip tie it in the middle, then tuck it out of the way.

@@4WD247 Gonna have to disagree with the figure 8.. for 27Mhz you can wrap RG58 safely to an 8" circle without RF loss.. that's about the tightest RG58's dielectric can take without migrating close to the shield and throwing your match.. which it will do over time. In stowing a figure 8, the loops tend to get shoved into place, tightening the radius.. No kinks. Ziptie loosely! Also, a CB's coax can, and should be, cut to the closest 3 foot increment for improved performance. For good measure, loom the coax in the engine bay with 300'F loom. Keep it up!

Take it to the next level - Here's a way to have the best of both worlds. I have wired the positive power cable for the UHF to the common terminal of a relay which has accessories power wired to the Normally Closed terminal, and a permanent +12V feed from the aux battery wired to the Normally Open terminal. The relay is then controlled by a rocker switch on the dash which is connected to a permanent +12V wire. With the dash switch off, the relay stays off and this leaves the radio connected to accessories for normal operation with the radio turning on/off with the key. Flick the dash switch on and the relay operates, connecting the radio power lead to the permanent feed from the aux battery. This allows the radio to be on at all times even with the key off, and powered from the Aux battery, so no risk of a flat starter battery. In my case, the rocker switch that I used is one of the illuminated type so a quick glance at the dash (or the eerie red glow in the cabin at night) will reveal if I have forgotten to turn the switch back to the accessories position which turns the radio off when the key is not in the car.

1) For the UHF 477 MHz CB the best antenna and location is a 1/4 Wave flexible whip antenna mounted in the centre of the roof - drilled and sealed. The 1/4 Wave whip is only about 20cm in length and will out-perform any high gain antenna on a bull bar. If you have a ute or wagon with no roof rack then this is the best antenna and position. It's virtually invisible and won't get broken off. 2) If you have a roof rack or other thing on the roof then a gutter mount with a 1/4 Wave antenna and spring is almost as good. Both the positions above are ZERO gain which is what you want driving around in hills, mountains, valleys, cities and undulating terrain. Unless you live on the Nullarbor Plain then you want LOW GAIN antennas. 3) A Half Wave length whip antenna on a gutter mount is also excellent and will out-perform any of the higher gain antennas. A gutter mount Half Wave whip is about 2 dBi which is also excellent for talking in most terrain and geographical areas. 4) Remember, if you want to talk over a hill, round a hill, through a valley and through thick bush then LESS dBi is better. Don't believe the marketing BS.

I've installed a number of older (AM) and newer radio units over the years and personally I prefer power to come off a source (e.g. batter) which is available if the vehicle is turned off completely. I've typically also added a separate switch to turn the unit on and off at will. The older Uniden AM models (such as the PC122XL in the day) also offen came with an option to wire in an external P.A. speaker. Both of these features (vehicle off but radio still working, and/or ability to broadcast radio (and your own voice) externally was terrific on 4WD club trips and events. When speaking of "cutting the cable" on the antenna... there's no "can" affect... it WILL affect. Don't do it! (in the old days of AM CB you could always did because your standing wave was always tuned/tweaked by the aerial tip ...) and if you need to loop it, then wide loops is better. No need to figure 8 it - that was more a thing for the older AM radios...

Big fan of your videos Graham! I have a question for you. Why does everyone from down under mount their antennas on the front bumper? Seems more likely to get busted off I think. I’m an avid off road enthusiast and also a radio operator here in the US. But in the US we generally mount the antennas behind the vehicle. Unless it’s a mostly highway vehicle. I asked ARB and all they could tell me was “Well because that’s how we build our bumpers”.. I’m guessing it could be the radiation pattern of the uhf antenna? An SWR issue maybe? Thanks Graham. Keep on rocking!

@Knightslugger5 жыл бұрын
@@veneratedmortal4369 Even a $1000 unit wouldn't protect itself. By keying up without an antenna, all the power you are sending to the connector (which is normally where the antenna coax is connected) is reflected back to the radio. Without anywhere to go, RF goes backwards. Even with an antenna connected, if it is not tuned for impedance and capacitance some of the energy being sent to the antenna we be reflected back into the radio. This is what is known as a standing wave, and the ratio is how much of the energy is being reflected. 1:1 is a perfect match and every drop of RF being sent to the antenna is being emitted while a 2:1 only means that half of the power being sent to the antenna is being emitted which means your radio is experiencing heating within the transmitter itself, which over time (and depending on the SWR or Standing Wave Ratio) will take its toll on the electronics (possibly immediately depending on how much power is reflected). Radio communications is quite a bit more complicated than just snaking some wire into a cab and turning a gadget on. a lot of thought has to go into the best engineering practices when installing and using a transceiver. Graham's tip about coiling up the wire is not considered a best practice, and by doing so he inadvertently created what is known as a balun, which can turn a perfectly matched antenna into a radio killer. Never ever EVER coil excess coax.

Now I normally do not carry any weight in the back of my vehicle and I have an alloy bar, but when I do go on trips I have a lot of weight in the rear and this obviously causes the vehicle to sag. The main purpose of a lift would be to increase clearance on trips, however I do not want my vehicle to feel like a rollercoaster on the daily. For this reason I am considering HD springs in the rear and SD in the front but I would like an expert opinion on the matter. Cheers

Off topic. But could you do a rig build and review. Of both your vehicles!

When you say don’t cut the cable, my antenna came with an un terminated end so at the time I just assumed I just cut to length and terminate it myself. So iv probably lost signal?

not likely. A shorter cable means less loss. The longer the cable is, the more attenuation you will have. Not that big a deal in the lower frequency bands, but for UHF (and depending on the cable construction) it could be significant.
