- Does this plug straight into a CB radio?
- No. The cable ends in an FME female connector, so you need an FME-to-PL259 adapter for a CB. Buy the adapter with the cable.
- What antenna fits this mount?
- Any antenna with an NMO base. That covers most CB, VHF and UHF mobile whips, so you can swap antennas without replacing the cable.
- Is RG58AU better than regular RG58?
- RG58AU uses a stranded center conductor, which handles flexing and vibration in a vehicle better than solid-core RG58. Signal loss is about the same.
- Will it work for a UHF or scanner setup?
- Yes, but keep the run short. RG58 loses more signal at UHF than RG8X or LMR-240, so long routes to a 70cm or scanner radio may underperform.
- What is included?
- The 17-foot RG58AU cable with the NMO mount and FME female connector. No antenna and no radio-side adapter are included.
- Can I cut it to length?
- You can, but you would need to fit a new connector and crimp it properly. Most buyers leave the full length coiled out of the way.
