Nice place, I love using lowband handhelds in cool suburban and urban places like this.

Did you check the Scanner Antenna for SWR? If not you could shorten the life of the output finals.

Okay wait a minute... this setup from a radio physics standpoint isn’t possible... you’re operating an 11 meter (27 MHz.) handheld on AM with a scanner antenna which is likely dual banded tuned for VHF and UHF... but you’re operating with extended range on just an HF am CB...

Not possible my friend- something else is catering to your extended range, most probably your base station rig in the truck. Also remember that HF radios like your CB are immensely affected by atmospheric conditions, day time or night time, etc...

Perhaps you tested on a day with favorable atmospheric conditions for HF, but that scanner antenna is definitely not responsible for the range, and you will fry that radio using a VHF/UHF antenna. You should check your SWR on that handheld... it’s going to be off the charts and eventually the finals in your rig will burn up.

That range isn’t coming from a scanner antenna though... your doing damage to the radio using an antenna like that.

If you want triple range or more, just pick up one of those 24 inch BNC handheld whips tuned for CB- I think you can get them from cbworld.com or any major vendor. I have those same Cobra radios with the extended range whips and 10 miles on any given day is crystal-clear. And that’s just between 2 of those same Cobra handhelds. The SWR is literally perfect so the finals run nice and cool. Less wattage, incredibly greater range, and no damage to the radios.

That U/VHF antenna your using is like frying an egg though on a 2, 000 degree Fahrenheit frying pan- and you’re range is going to suffer as well.

Just FYI!

Does this antenna fit straight away or did you need an adapter?

Does the CObra HH 50 WX ST have an improved antenna?
