Transforming an antenna to give off another function can be a meticulous task. So, allow this article to give you the steps to be done. Also, learn to follow by the rules for you to achieve the best results and have more safety features in your military vehicle. Survive in missions and let that be a gift to yourself.

The first thing that you should avoid doing is to paint this object. A military CB antenna can be sensitive and this is not the right time for you to bring out your colorful personality. Everything has to blend well with your car for work to keep you from getting reprimanded by your superiors.

You should try to get a grip of yourself when you are tightening those screws. The base can only take so much pressure since it is a small thing. So, have the instinct to know when you have already reached your limits. Have somebody look over you just to get the right amount of tightness in your set up.

Only let a screwdriver remove the lid from the bottom. With the lid out of the way, you can already search for the cable. Thus, simply take your time and be certain that the cables have not been exposed beforehand since that can cause a friction between you and these objects which can be very dangerous.

Turn the fifth capacitor slowly with the use of your tools. Make sure that it is the correct nub buy moving clockwise from the cable. Also, know the power capacity of the antenna for you to match things up. Excessively turning the capacitor would only dull other frequencies and even lead your radio to blow up.

Have more than enough length for the cable which you shall be using. If your CB is a little bit far, you can make use of the allowance to finally make the connection. Also, be able to protect yourself by using the right gear. Do not touch any of the heated parts without the official materials for your safety.

Close the gaps between all of the things which you are trying to connect. Also, separate metals away from each other. Your reception must be free from any distractions and that can never in the presence of a metal to metal contact. You can lose all signal in an instant and that is not going to help you in case of an emergency.

Use a SWR meter to see if you got the measurements right. If there has been a mistake, be very patient in starting all over again. Buy the same set of materials and know where you got it wrong this time around.

Tightly close the lid after the test. Check it once again since a simple wave of air can destroy all of your efforts. So, put additional materials such as a tape for you to be sure that your antenna will be up and running.
