Can this be used on the 10 meter band? Or is it strictly for CB only?

This antenna will work fine on 10 meters. Just trim to achieve lowest SWR in the middle of your expected operating range and enjoy ! !

CB is short for "Citizens Band" and this this refers to the frequencies a CB radio operates on. As to the second part of your question, the range of your CB depends on several things. The size and location of your antenna, the surrounding terrain, and weather conditions. Another factor is how well you have tuned your CB radio.

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).

You can use the oem antenna on your car but a bigger cb antenna will allow you to communicate further out with a cleaner signal. I'm no expert but that's what I've been told.

To small for C band. For good C Band signal reception you will need a 6' dish or bigger. Some hobbyists tried with 4' offset dishes and the results where mixed and marginal.

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.

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.

I have only used the CB for auto use as base stations are usually used from the home. I would go to your nearest radio shack or a store like them to ask a professional. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You are thinking of 11 meters (CB) with AM and SSB. Additionally, the European FM mode for CB that you are refering to is PMR446 (446 MHz; which happens to be on the 70 cm HAM band in the US and Canada), with a max of 500 mW. If you mistakenly thought of European PMR446, instead of the UK CB band on 27 MHz (not the US system of frequencies) using FM, they are regulated to roughly 500 mW output.The TYT TH-9800 radio operates on 10 meters (HAM) in FM mode, along with three other HAM bands (6 meters, 2 meters, and 70 centimeters). It is a quad-band radio.

Yes I have done that. It works but remember the CB radio wave length works best when there is no obstruction. A straight shot to the other unit. Also, you only have about 5 miles before you loose contact with the other CB. It's not a cell phone by any means.

No,this is for Citizens Band radio frequencies. You'll need a different antenna for weather band frequencies unless you invest in a Uniden 980 SS cb radio which has weather band frequencies included and then you can use this antenna. It's best that you purchase a weather band radio if that's the only thing you want.

No. I've tried it with 10m and it has very flimsy build, and will arc at anything over CB regulation.

If you are referring to the Frequency Band it is 25 MHz - 30 MHz. If you are referring range it is determined by the wattage of the radio or amplifier, weather, type of antenna, mounting location and terrain. Best case scenario 7-10 miles for a factory 4 watt CB. Here's a helpful link to assist with your question.

Yes... but this type of antenna is used Mostly for Moble 10 meter radios. If its a Home Base Station radio they have more powerfull Antennas on the Market.... Good Luck.....

Sorry, I'm not sure. I like the radio especially for the price. But if you want to use it for 10 meters it's not the greatest seeing it doesn't do sideband.73'sSteve

It is not a matter of can you "adapt it" to a CB radio. The antenna is designed for VHF marine band frequencies, not CB

This is ham radio not CB. You need a license as do others that use ham equipment.
