Our reasoning and expectations behind this.
As we have two handheld portable CB units it seemed a good idea to be able to connect them both to external aerials if they are being used in the van hopefully they will not interfere with each other. we are also considering the idea of adding lightning arrestors.
Twin-fixed CB aerials.
Twin CB aerial connection points & power supply.
Lightning arrestors, (under urgent consideration).
Twin fixed aerials.
(one-fitted connected through the gap at the top of the door, the second still needs fitting).
Twin CB aerial connection points & power supply, (see dashboard).
Artist’s impression may change, (sorry poor picture will be replaced ASAP).
The top left & right, 12v power supply.
The top center connection is for the external speaker mic.
The bottom left & right, coax cable aerial connections.
The bottom central nob is the CB aerial input selector (both to left – both to right – or split).
