Thank god for Frank, he is right, he is only one to tell truth.

I'll try this one more time. You will need to focus -REALLY- hard
because this is probably going to be explained on a temporal level
with which you are unfamiliar: logic. Are you ready? Ok, here we
go.....


Fact: Somebody already installed the antennas and coax in the trucks.

Fact: Most people who install antenna systems adjust them for the best
impedance match to their radios.

Now just in case you are worried about the word "most", here are a
couple things to consider: If the antennas and coax are -not- adjusted
for a very good match then the other drivers of these trucks would
have blown -their- finals already (according to your "truth") and
would have either complained or fixed the problem. And since a company
owns the trucks, the antennas and the coax, and apparently wants the
drivers to use CB radios while driving, it's very likely that the
company checked the antenna systems so as to make sure they actually
work and not blow up the drivers' radios. This seems plausible because
if company equipment is defective they could be liable for the cost to
repair or replace the driver's CB radio. Even in a worst-case scenario
where the antenna systems were defective and blew up CB radios all the
time, not only is there something fundamentally wrong with the antenna
systems that no matchbox is going to fix, but someone is bound to warn
him that he should -not- plug his radio into the truck's antenna. So
in all probability.....

Conclusion: The antenna systems on these trucks have been adjusted for
the best impedance match to a CB radio.


Now hold on tight because this is where it all comes together.....


Fact: All CB radios are designed for a load impedance of 50 ohms. From
this fact you can draw two conclusions:

Conclusion #1: A CB radio with a load impedance of 50 ohms was used to
adjust the antenna systems in the trucks for the best impedance match.

Conclusion #2: Any CB radio the original poster uses is going to have
a load impedance of 50 ohms.

And those two conclusions lead to one FINAL conclusion: The antennas
and coax are -already- adjusted for the best impedance match to -any-
CB radio the original poster might use.


Bottom line: He's not going to blow up his radio if he doesn't use a
matchbox.


Now feel free to go back to your troll routine of calling me a "fool",
an "idiot", a "ma'roon" and a "brain-dead whacko", because you just
earned your place in the killfile.
