Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Cobra HH 38 WX ST 4-Mile 40-Channel CB Radio
Customer Review: If you're in a car, you need an NGP Antenna...
Summary: 4 Stars
What's an NGP antenna? Good question. I won't tell you, actually, because it's REALLY technical, and if you feel like getting into it you can google it yourself right now. The short (and not-entirely-technically-correct-but-it's-close-enough) answer is that like any electronic device, a radio needs to be grounded to work properly, and if you're holding the radio, sitting in your car on your leather-covered foam seat attached to rubber tires, you're not very well grounded, and the radio won't work very well. You need a special antenna for car use, and only then will you get the performance that this thing is capable of. The bottom line is that radios like these are NOT the plug-and-play devices we've come to expect from consumer electronics; they are precision instruments which require a bit of thought and consideration if you're going to get the maximum capability out of them.
That said, this is a great little device, but it's a little silly for use only in a car. I bought it to use with a motorcycle audio system, and I have the special antenna I just wrote about, and the darn thing works fine. Because of the special antenna setup, which includes an 18-foot wire (doesn't have to connect to anything in particular except the radio; it just has to be there) and the horrendous battery usage (better to use the DC power coupling), you're going to be pretty well-wired into the car anyhow, so you might as well bite the bullet and get a full-size CB, like the Midland 1001Z, for which, because you bolt the radio itself to the body of the car, you might not even need the special NGP antenna. Go figure...
