Yup, here is the one tuned for 27MHz Citizens' Band Rugged Mobile Radome Antenna; 27MHz; 48 - https://antennas.alamosa.mobi/products/citizens-band-rugged-mobile-radome-antenna-27mhz-48-c27r1Noob question
Can this antenna be hooked up to a CB? I need to choose a decent setup for my future travels?
Thanks
1 question I should ask is, so the coax is permanently attached to the antenna? As in it wouldn't be easy to take the antenna down to say, go through the auto car wash?
Is there a weather cap that comes with the antenna or can one be ordered? Could you maybe show some pictures? Thanks.The coax affixes permanently to the base. The top section of the antenna is threaded to the base so can be removed for car washes et cetera.
I can! I will actually make a removal video for y'all. As per cap, we were having some 3D printed (and maybe still will), but rubber chair leg protectors are working wonders. Seems a bit amateur but but they've proven to be perfect.Is there a weather cap that comes with the antenna or can one be ordered? Could you maybe show some pictures? Thanks.
So the base that needs to be covered isn't a standard base? Like an NMO base, because I've seen weather caps for NMO bases. A video would be great, thanks.I can!

It'd be awesome if you could offer one base with multiple "ham sticks" for different bands, and/or sell the sticks separately to help with the cost.
Sorry it took a bit, a crazy week. Alas, here is a quick video showing how the antenna and base mate. It is not a standard base, other than mounting at the bottom of the spring base by a 14mm stud. It is also not NMO. NMO and its associated bases don't have spring and can't handle the dynamic moment generated by driving these, and you want to maintain the least impedance mismatch at the base of the inductor/coil/element not at the spring.
Hopefully this helps. I swear the background sound didn't sound as ominous when I added it at first, LOL.
Thank YOU!I saw your post on Instagram. This was my deciding factor, i ordered one immediately. Thanks!
I was just on the website and noticed that a cap for the springs can now be ordered. This is amazing! They are however currently out of stock. When do you think more will be available?
I'll keep an eye out for them. Thanks again for making these!We have a great contact in the broader off-road community who is manufacturing them for us. We have an order in for the next batch and I believe they are presently waiting on materials. We did a much bigger order this time. I hope within the coming weeks!
