This no-ground-plane CB antenna kit is designed for fiberglass, wood and other non-metal mounting surfaces where a substantial metallic chassis ground is unavailable. The mounting surface must be no thicker than 0.28 inch, and you need access behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I choose the 3-foot or 4-foot antenna?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose the 4-foot antenna if your installation has enough clearance; choose the 3-foot antenna when height is more restricted. Approximate comparison ranges are 2–3 miles for the 3-foot version and 3–5 miles for the 4-foot version, with actual results depending on installation and surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the side mount require drilling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The M-2 side mount requires two holes, spaced 1.5 inches center to center. You also need interior access to fasten the mounting bolts and connect the coax cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I shorten the included coax cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The included 17-foot NGP coax is part of a tuned circuit and cannot be shortened without non-repairable damage. If additional reach is needed, standard RG-58 A\/U cable can be added between the radio and NGP cable, preferably in multiples of nine feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I tune the antenna?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdjust the kit's tunable antenna tip by turning the screw at the top of the antenna.
