CB Antenna ?
I'd like to put a CB antenna on my 98 Z28. I would like something that is black, semiflexible, and not too long, about 2 feet. Something that can be mounted were the AM/FM antenna goes. Anyone know of anything like that?
I was thinking about just replacing the AM/FM antenna with a CB antenna and then using a splitter for the AM/FM (http://www.firestik.com/Catalog/AR-1A.htm). Trying to use a CB off of a AM/FM antenna using a splitter is pretty much useless.

you are going to have a hard time using such a short cb antenna, your swr will be outrageous, and you'll be power limited(2 foot is into ham band).if you have a meter you could try a dipole in the back window.I have a couple 2 foot ones listed from firestik with a 3/8"x24 thread which is too big for what you have (mount wise)
