Mounting Variety: What mounting variety is the K40 CB ANTENNA BLK SS WHIP 57.25 17-7 600W?

It comes standard with the trunk lip mount, and you can get an optional magnet in mount base for it. I mount mine under the hood lip like a trunk mount. Good visibility and swr. That's the only place I have to mount it because of my van having a fiberglass top.

I already had power and antenna (used to have business band radio 153.020mhz) did have to change the base load and tune antenna for cb frequencies. If you use lighter socket for power and a magnetic mount antenna should be done in short order. The business band required power feed directly from battery and drilling roof for roof mount antenna (overkill for cb).

As an update to my previous answer, I used a Phillips antenna rotor which is identical to ChannelMasters which is then mounted to the Dish mount (dish removed). The rotor supports a short piece of antenna mast purchased at Lowes (lowes.com) which also should be available at Radio Shack. The antenna then is mounted to the mast. Again, this antenna is VERY directional, Some of my stations come in only within 5-10 degrees.

It is a PL-259 plug - standard for these types antennas. If you're not sure (or need to know) what it looks like, you can do an online search for PL-259... They have some good up-close pictures of them...

From the FireStik Website: High performance CB antenna kits complete with 3 or 4 foot antennas, and 3-way mounting brackets that will allow you to mount the antennas on a vertical or horizontal mirror arm or rail as well as directly to any flat vertical surface. The kits also includes our dual-18 foot Fire-Flex cophase harness made from top grade RG-59A/U coaxial cable complete with three screw-on PL-259 connections. And, as a bonus for purchasing a complete kit, we throw in 2 FREE stainless steel springs and a FREE microphone hanger.

For the K45SS model you want the K45WW 6 wire whip for the tilt-head model.

The antenna jack is MCX and it's magnetic mount. Not a very good antenna though. Highly recommend an upgrade.

Its a steel whip, while it will flex its a mag mount and my get knocked off. Good luck

Listen. Tweaked! Peaked and tuned idk? You can have any radio tweaked, take your cb to a guy/cb shop(the guy making announcments over the radio...) He will snip out the thing that only allows it to do only 4 watts and add a thingymajob to bump it up to 20, 30, 40 watts. Or...hook up a linear. Or...do both. FYI- Half of your radio is your antenna, put the ugly sticks under your bunk and get a pair of wilsons or k-40s or anything else...

I don't know the technical term, but it looks like one of those 'fancy' CB 'rubber duck antenna'--twist--connectors. (It is quite durable.) The answer provided by 'Dr.Littles' is probably correct--"TNC or 'Threaded BNC'".

David, I can't answer your question. My Wilson 1000-3000 watts is mounted to the trunk lid of my FORD CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR. I don't trust magnetic base antennas mounted on my car. I'm Afraid at highway speed the antenna might take flight and wind up thru the windshield of a car, injuring the passenger(S) I hope I have answered your question.

I purchased the 'WINEGARD TB-0005 5-Feet Swedged Masting Antenna Mount' pole. It worked well and seemed to be a sturdy combination in conjunction with a small antenna. I am using an 'RCA ANT751 Durable Compact Outdoor Antenna ' .

I never buy an off the shelf antenna. I always have them made custom for my equipment. There are several really good cb guys nationwide that do excellent work. The funny thing is their custom stuff is usually less expensive in the long run than the name brand crap on the shelf.

The antenna has a black magnet mount with a chrome colored antenna. The length is 34 1/8 inches tall.

I'm sorry I only use the SWR meter to align my Cb antenna, I'm sure you could Google the meter model, and find the answer.

If your SWR reading was higher on channel 40 than it was on channel 1, then it simply means the antenna is too long. If it was higher on channel 1 than it was on channel 40, it is too short. This is really easy to change if you own a tunable-tip antenna. If you own an antenna like this, you can simply unlock the tip and raise or lower the antenna. Continue tuning until you reach a good ratio. If you own a fiberglass whip antenna, it is a little more difficult. First, you have to remove the tip and cut until you can access the wire coil. If it needs to be shortened, you have to begin cutting in around " increments until it is correct. Now, if it is too long, you have to take the top coil and continue moving it out in slight increments until it is correct. Hope this helps.

I sent the antenna back. Would not work on my KLR 650 because too much metal on my motorcycle. That's what the company told me.
