In today’s era, the most common question that CB’ers ask before buying CB Antenna is what will be the approximate range of your CB Antenna. A simple question with a tricky answer. As we all know that CB Antenna range can be easily distressed by various parables.  After reading this article, you will get to know the factors that affect CB antenna range.

Factor that affects the range

01: Quality                                       

If you want the range to meet your expectations, then you must have a quality CB Antenna. These are popular because of their quality, durability, and range. For that, we will always recommend you buy a brand name CB Antenna that is compatible with you and your vehicle.

02: Mounting Location

A crucial part which plays a vital role. There is no doubt that your CB Antenna range can be easily affected by your mounting location. If you place your CB Antenna higher, the maximum range will increase. If you do not mount in the proper location, your CB Antenna will not provide the range which you are expecting.

03: Installation Matters

You are human and can make mistakes. During installation, sometimes you can also make mistakes, so you have to be careful and double check your work. If you do not have proper grounding, then you will limit range and cause a high SWR. So it is important for your CB Antenna to be correctly installed.

04: Height & Category

We all CB Antenna users know that an antenna with maximum height can cover more distance than the minimum height antennas right? You can take an example of a center loaded and fiberglass. Center-Loaded antennas are more powerful according to the fiberglass because while both antennas may be physically the same length, a “center” loaded antenna, which is wire wrapped around an insulator, is electrically longer. While the fiberglass antenna may be a 1/4 wavelength, an antenna with a coil is a 1/2, or even a 5/8 wave antenna, which has better RX/TX than a quarter wave antenna.

Dual Center Loaded CB Antenna

Dual Center Loaded CB Antennas are 50% more powerful than the single center loaded CB Antenna. They will provide 30 to 40% more ranges than the single center loaded CB antenna. And will also cover all the sides and help you in averting from the dead spots.
