no such critter as a repeater for 11 meter (CB Band)...

When your looking at those 1/4 wave antennas, make sure they say they are for 11 Meter....11 Meter is the CB Band...there are 1/4 wave antennas out there for other bands which are for the Armature Radio frequency's where you would need a different type radio, plus a HAM license like MDY was talking about...

I use as 102" SS whip, you can use wire for radials. I bought 3 102 whips and used predrilled steel strap bent in a C shape, to bolt the 2 extas for radials. Been up for years and is indestructible.

Hello all, I have been busy but have acquired more components. 9-ft. RG-58A/U Coaxial Cable with PL-259 Connectors and a small full spool of GTO15 High Voltage Cable. Hope that is the right stuff. It looks to be from my searching. I love goodwill!
