How to Hook Up a CB Radio

What you will need on the antenna with CB is using a magnetic antenna with a wire coming in their window which screws into the antenna socket on back of the radio. They then take this antenna and place it on the roof of their vehicle and they can store it in the truck when it is not in use. The other requirement of the CB is that you hook 12 volts power up to the back of your CB radio; black being the ground wire and red being the power wire. Most CB’ers finds it easy to put a cigarette lighter plug on this connection and plug it into their cigarette lighter so they can unplug it and put the radio in the trunk out of sight when they are not using it. The CB does not require much current and is pretty easy to hook up in the automobile.
