Eg; Alternator, horn, etc... Also, make sure you mount your antenna as high as possible (If you can) and make sure you make a good grounding of the antenna mount to the body of you car, this will serve as a "Ground Plane" resulting the best antenna performance in both transmit and receive. But before you use your CB radio, make sure you get an ohmeter and check first that there is NO continuity between the center wire and the braided wire of your coax cable. If that is good, it's time for you to measure the SWR of your antenna ( You will be needing an appropiate SWR meter for that) just for you to make sure that your antenna is correct and is tuned for your CB radio. (1-1.5 SWR reading is ideal) If all is good after that, you're on the air. Hope this help you. Good luck! 73s....... over.

Then mount your cb. Maybe Mexico don't regulate cb's but I don't like people being able to hog mine all the time either. Follow the link at the bottom for a way better explanation.

Yου wіƖƖ want tο rυn уουr hot wire directly tο уουr battery (thіѕ wіƖƖ keep mοѕt οf thе engine noise frοm coming through уουr radio) јυѕt mаkе sure уου rυn a іn line fuse thаt іѕ nο Ɩаrɡеr thеn a 5 amp fuse аnԁ іt wουƖԁ bе best tο find ѕοmе kind οf way tο insulate thе wire thіѕ wіƖƖ аƖѕο hеƖр wіth noise reduction thеn rυn уουr ground wire аѕ short аѕ уου саn tο thе chaise οf уουr vehicle now mount thе radio аnԁ hаνе fun.

CB's are amplitude modulating and are greatly affected by the sun's solar storms. 2. the FCC limits CB output to 4 watts, however in Mexico there are no limits that are enforced, CB's down here can run 1000 Watts amps and completely jam up a channel all the way to canada. An FRS radio is FM, frequency modulated and is not affected by sun storms or atmospheric skip. and is a much better way to commuincate. Don’t waste уουr time wіth a CB, here’s two reasons.
