*IMPORTANT* Communication Equipment for Emergencies and Disasters!

Do you still make the 24 inch BNC whips for handhelds please?

Hi, hopefully you are still active. I can't seem to find any info online. I have a uniden PRO 520xl sitting on my shelf and im not sure if it will even be useful as I think it is a AM cb. I have a uniden uh5000 as my current uhf but that is a lot newer than the 520. Will the 520 still be heard with my newer uhf?

We are absolutely alive and well! Those radios operate on different bands and would not be able to communicate to eachother. The Pro520xl is a CB radio and will communicate on the CB Band 26-27 MHz. The UH5000 looks like its in 67-250MHz.

@@wearecb thank you for replying! I appreciate it

[@hisdukeness3037]

I’m set.. u can get me in the Chicago-land on the move normally

[@wearecb]

Good! We are happy to hear that you are prepared!

[@hisdukeness3037]

CB World yup! Thanks for the goods! Haven’t a bad thing to say about your services

I want a CB radio for my Adventure bike. Is there any CB'S have Bluetooth, or headset, mic and a transmitter button. No cell phone service while you are miles away from help sucks. Also you have a longer range then the comms such as SENA Bluetooth halment comms. Is there any Aftermarket receiver and transmitters? Thank you and hope you do a video of this😊

Dear Brandon, Check out this radio, no Bluetooth but it does have a headset which is displayed in the description! www.wearecb.com/75822-midland-compact-cb-radio.html

I don't know if you guys would be able to help but i have a uniden PC68LTX and i just got truck spec platinum co phased antennas 3 footers 1000 watts problem is channel 40 is reading an swr of 3 and channel 1 an swr of 3.5 i have done a ground check along with a coax check but cant figure out why both are 3 or higher on swr how can i fix it

[@nikostathopoulos4371]

@@wearecb I've tried that but nothing shows how to do a co phase setup with the permit stud mounted straight to the coax

[@wearecb]

@@nikostathopoulos4371 Follow the directions and apply them to both antennas. At 3 or higher you generally have a larger issue such as a bad ground or a short. Be sure you are storing your coax correctly. Follow the directions accordingly on our website at the link provided for both sides of the antenna system. People use dual antennas because they co-phase, changing the radiation pattern by forming two overlapping figure eights, thus increasing transmission strength to the front and back. This is a benefit because CB users usually want to talk to those in front or behind them rather than to quickly passing oncoming traffic. Dual antennas offer some help to signals by dividing the SWR (see " What is SWR?") in half, cutting down on transmission noise. When installing two antennas, they should be about six feet apart. To avoid reflected radio frequency (RF), they need to be no less than 1/4 wavelength apart (102"). Both antennas require sufficient ground plane, grounding, a sturdy mounting hardware and good quality coax.

Are you going to make anymore videos on cb?

[@wearecb]

Bob, thanks for your reply! We hope to have some more educational CB videos coming soon.
