Our take on the Tram 703-HC Center Load CB Antenna Kit

The Tram 703-HC is a center-load CB antenna kit with a stainless steel whip, a shock spring and a magnetic mount, plus 17 ft of RG58A/U coax and a PL-259 connector. Center loading puts the coil partway up the whip, which trades a little height for a more balanced pattern than a base-loaded whip of the same length. It suits drivers who want a quick, removable setup on a car, pickup or work truck rather than a drilled permanent mount. Against base-loaded kits it is taller and heavier at the top, so it needs a solid magnet and good ground plane; owners rate it well overall but note tuning and mount grip as the weak points.

Best forDrivers who want a removable magnetic CB setupPickups, vans and cars with a flat metal roof or trunk lidBuyers who want coax and connector included in one kitOccasional highway and convoy use
Pros
  • Center-loaded coil for a more balanced radiation pattern than a short base-loaded whip
  • Stainless steel shaft and whip resist rust and flex
  • Shock spring absorbs whip strikes on low branches and drive-throughs
  • 17 ft of RG58A/U coax with a PL-259 connector included
  • Magnetic base makes it easy to move between vehicles
Cons
  • Needs a large flat steel surface for a secure hold
  • Center loading puts weight higher up, so the whip sways more at speed
  • SWR must be set by trimming the whip, which is one-way
  • Magnet can mar paint if grit gets under the base
  • Not a permanent or high-power install solution

What people mention
  • TuningMixedOwners say it works well once the SWR is set, but trimming the whip is fiddly and permanent.
  • Magnet mountMixedThe magnetic base is convenient to move, yet some report it sliding or letting go in wind and at speed.
  • BuildPraisedThe stainless whip and shock spring are described as sturdy and durable.
  • ReceptionPraisedBuyers report clear transmit and receive across the CB channels after tuning.
  • Whip swayCriticisedThe center-loaded whip leans and sways more at highway speed than shorter base-loaded antennas.

Questions and answers

Does the Tram 703-HC need tuning?
Yes. Check SWR with a meter and trim the whip tip in small steps until the reading is low across the channels you use. Trimming is permanent, so cut a little at a time.
How does center loading compare with a base-loaded whip?
Center loading raises the coil up the whip, which gives a more balanced pattern than a short base-loaded antenna. The trade-off is more height and top weight, so it sways more.
What surface does the magnet need?
A large, flat steel panel such as a roof or trunk lid. Aluminum and plastic bodies give no grip or ground plane, and the magnet can scratch paint if dirt gets under it.
What is included in the kit?
The stainless steel shaft and whip, a shock spring, the magnetic mount, and 17 ft of RG58A/U coax with a PL-259 connector.
Can I leave it on the vehicle permanently?
It is meant to be removable. For a permanent install, a drilled or lip mount holds better and avoids the paint wear a magnet can cause.
Will it work with any CB radio?
Yes, it covers all CB frequencies and ends in a standard PL-259 connector, which fits the antenna jack on typical CB radios.
