Default Help with Antenna

Just use a regular CB antenna. It will work fine. I had one of these radios
years ago and used a little center loaded CB antenna that was just about 2
feet long I got from Kmart. Not a great antenna for CB but I could pick up 3
or four NOAA stations in the area. Even a full size CB antenna will work
well with it. A discone antenna can be modified to work on both the NOAA
frequencies and CB equally well by extending 3 of the rods that make the
skirt of the antenna to 1/4 wl at CB freq and adding another1/4 wl section
that extends vertically from the disk.
