Compact CB Antenna for Handheld Radios

The usbroway ROD130 is a telescopic CB antenna built for 27MHz handheld transceivers. It fits Cobra HH38WXST HH50WXST HH50 MRHH350FLT C75WXST Midland 75-822 75-785 MHS75 Uniden BC75XLT PRO401HH BC125AT models via a BNC connector. The 9 to 51inch adjustable length lets operators match the antenna to the situation. It is designed for users who need stronger reception and longer range from a portable radio.

Reception Gain and Power Handling

The antenna provides high gain to boost both reception sensitivity and transmit reach on the 11meter band. Maximum power handling is rated at 20Watt with a V.S.W.R. below 1.5 and vertical polarisation. No active cooling or power supply is involved, so operation adds no noise or heat to the radio. The passive design keeps the handheld running exactly as it did before, only with improved signal performance.

Single Antenna in the Package

The box contains one ROD130 telescopic CB antenna and nothing else. No mounting hardware adapters cables or software are bundled. Buyers who need a second antenna for another radio or a different connector type must source those separately. The telescoping mechanism collapses the whip for storage in a pack during hiking hunting or camping trips.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BNC connector on my handheld radio, and what step do people often miss?

Screw the BNC male plug onto the radio's antenna port until it locks with a quarter-turn; the step many skip is fully extending the 9-to-51-inch whip before keying the mic, otherwise the 1.5 VSWR rating is not met and transmit power drops.

What maintenance or replacement will this telescopic antenna need over time?

The sliding sections collect grit when collapsed; wipe each joint with a dry cloth after dusty use and apply a trace of dielectric grease once a year to keep the electrical path clean and the 20-watt power rating intact.

What limit appears first during a long transmission session?

The 20-watt maximum power rating is the first ceiling; sustained key-down at that level will heat the base coil and raise VSWR above 1.5, so keep individual transmissions short and allow cool-down intervals.
