Does anyone on here know what modifications are require to a cb radio to increase the working range?
Ariels on the mirror bracket of a Claas forager. Would rather not go down the route of 2 ariels as I've branded the twin ariel cart men as d##ks for years!

Get a decent arieal and get it finelly tuned. Make sure you have a real good mounting point, personally i am not a lover of mirror mounts but often its the only place, far better is a old plough disc mounted to cab roof, cab roof often have 2 bolts going down through them. this will give added earthing for the arieal to work propperlly, make sure the disc is earthed to the chassis of the vehicle.Does anyone on here know what modifications are require to a cb radio to increase the working range?
I'd get a swr/power meter off eBay for a tenner and check the aerial first?
Getting the swr to 1.2 and using a good long twig makes big difference to how far out you can go.
Then fit a kicker.
I think you mean get the SWR below 1.2!, most cases you can get it alot lower than that if you cant you have a problem with your aerial.
A kicker is a burner, as said these are ok but dont help hearing someone who can hear you!!!
the polish dont need them there everywhere
