Hi all, just wanted to ask as I will be installing my cb soon, I have a double Arial cable and was thinking if I installed one end on top light bar and other end on front bumper but would only use one Arial just swap it over e.g. on bumper for lanning and on roof for p&p, would this work or would the cable not used still pick up and cause issues?

Whats the advantage of having two? just out of interest?

It would cause big problems both need to be matched,ie same height same twig and matching them is a time consuming job, I have both on my roll bar short twigs no problems

No advantage, Antonio get a splitter with a switch on it then u can switch between the 2 antennas switch is installed first at the rig end

Mines the same turned off most of the time but when your in a group great fun and I can tell everyone wheres there's a montego buried lol

it is a set requirement for Ollie to have one so he can pass his vast knowledge onto the group when we are in Northumberland ;)

Iv got so much useless knowledge to share but only on the c.b we don't want anyone knowing all secret squirrels stuff lol

Thanks to all for your replies, will go for a single cable and put antenna on top, have a spare with me just in case I lose one 😊
