Basically, you have two types of mobile CB antennas - full-length
whip and loaded whip - and a variety of types of mounts (depending on
where you locate your antenna) to choose from.
Midland markets a broad line of high-performance antennas. The dealer who
sold you your Midland CB can advise which type is best for you.
Where you locate your antenna does make a difference.
Some general rules for antenna location that can aid CB performance:
1. Put your antenna mount as high on the vehicle as possible.
2. The higher the proportion of antenna length that is above the roof, the
better.
3. If possible, mount the antenna in the center of whatever surface you
choose.

4. Keep antenna cables away from noise sources, such as the ignition
system, gauges, electric fuel pumps, etc.
5. Make sure you have a solid metal - to - metal ground.
6. Exercise care to prevent cable damage.
Essentially, you have five location choices: the roof, gutter, rear deck, front
cowl or rear bumper. Where you decide to locate your antenna will
determine the type of antenna you install. Again consult your Midland CB
dealer for advice and guidance, and measure your needs against the
attributes of the various Midland antenna models he carries.
