Choosing Antenna Length
The longer your antenna, the better your CB system will perform. So we recommend using the longest antenna you possibly can! That being said, 4' antennas are the most popular choice of pickup truck and off-road vehicle owners, while 5' antennas are more often found on larger trucks and semis.
Here are the approximate ranges you'll get with different length antennas.
- 2' Length: 2 to 3 miles
- 3' Length: 3 to 4 miles
- 4' Length: 4 to 6 miles
- 5' Length: 5 to 7 miles

This is a 100% personal decision! Choose your favorite color, or what goes best with your vehicle.
