CB Radio Fitting in Range Rover Sport

Hi Patrick,

I cant give you a direct answer, but you might find AULRO a good source of help. Very good chance someone there will have been through your dilemma.

Cheers, Mark

Don't know if this will help or not.

I mounted an antenna on the spare wheel carrier of my GQ. I made the mounting bracket the same height as the roof and used a stumpy 200mm antenna. This allowed the roof to work as a ground plain. It worked well giving good range but it was better going forward. It was also well protected from scrub etc.

I ran the cable in the roof because the UHF was mounted in a roof console and brought it out through the rear windscreen washer jet on the rear door.

It would be easier to run the cable under the carpet for a dash mounted unit, coming out near the hinge allows you to anchor the cable to prevent ware or pinching.

Duncs.

You could mount a stubby aerial using a bracket off the roof rack. You don't need a long aerial if it is above the body of the car.
