CB Antenna kits?

[cranetruck]

Were CB's ever used by the military? Stupid question?

CBs, I would say no since CB stands for Citizen's Band radio. It is possible that the military may have at some point used the same band in earlier days before it was reserved for CB use, but I doubt the military ever used a band that anyone with a radio (and in the 70s a FCC CB license) could listen to.

In Civil Defense matters, the smart military commanders (as well as civilian emergency responders) will hook up with local CB and HAM users in order to widen their information net and expand their ability to deal with the problem.

I can see MP's using CB's.....

Has anyone turned the mil. antenna for the m1008 into a CB.

I would like to use a mil antenna on my truck for a CB antenna. I have seen an article or two on the net showing ways to do it, but want to know if anyone has done it here. How is the reception? what kind of radio do you use?


Also I am looking for a antenna for the truck including the actual truck mount (i have the piece with the metal ring on it).
