Title: Antenna Question
Post by: Dan Stansel on June 28, 2014, 10:55:15 am
On top front of my coach are three antennas.  Fairly sure if facing the front looking with entrance on left and driving side on right///the one on top on right is for CB, with the one the left for the radio.  So what is the short black one in the middle for???  I have mine in my hand as it just came loose.  DAN

Old cell antenna (for when cell phones had antenna ports - you could connect the phone to the antenna via a cable to get better signal.

Yup, just remove the old one and use it as a pattern to cut/drill some 1/8" aluminum. Paint it the roof color if you like. Bed it with any appropriate sealant/caulk and you are good to go.

I reused mine for my UHF hand held walky talkies. I just replaced the outside antenna (NMO mount) and obtained an adaptor to connect the coaxe to the radio. Great reception. I have Maxon SP 7402 radios, expensive commercial radios but very good reception.
