What is the purpose of a UHF CB antenna?
A UHF CB antenna improves the performance of your UHF CB radio by enhancing signal strength and range. It ensures clearer communication over longer distances.
How do I choose the right antenna for my vehicle?
The choice depends on your usage, terrain, and mounting preferences. Higher-gain antennas (e.g. 6.5dBi) are ideal for open areas like highways, while lower-gain antennas (e.g. 3dBi) perform better in hilly or dense terrain.
What is the difference between dBi gain levels?
Low-gain antennas (e.g., 3dBi) : Broader signal coverage, ideal for uneven or hilly terrain. Mid-gain antennas (e.g., 4.5dBi) : Balanced coverage, suitable for mixed terrain. High-gain antennas (e.g., 6.5dBi or higher) : Focused signal for maximum range on flat or open terrain.
What are the common mounting options for UHF antennas?
Antennas can be mounted on bull bars, roof racks, or gutter mounts, depending on your vehicle type and preferences.
Do all UHF CB radios work with these antennas?
Yes, Oricom UHF antennas are designed to be compatible with most UHF CB radios, including all Oricom models.
Can I install a UHF antenna myself?
Yes, many UHF antennas come with straightforward installation guides. However, for optimal performance and safety, professional installation is suggested.
What is a ground-independent antenna?
Ground-independent antennas do not require a metal surface (ground plane) to operate efficiently, making them suitable for non-metallic mounting surfaces like fiberglass or plastic.
