Here is the perfect cable for those who like to use their handheld CB in and out of their vehicle. Most, if not all late model handheld CB's use a male BNC terminated antenna. While the attached antenna may be sufficient while out-of-doors, that efficiency is severely restricted when you try to use it inside the vehicle. The vehicle body acts like a shield that keeps much of the radios energy from escaping. The best way to maximize the efficiency of your handheld radio when being used from inside a vehicle is to use an external antenna.
With this adapter cable you can easily and conveniently connect your handheld to your vehicles external CB antenna for increased efficiency. Simply remove the handhelds antenna, connect the BNC end of the cord to the antenna jack of your handheld and the other end to the PL-259 connector of the vehicle antenna coax. Nothing could be easier!
The coax used on this adapter cord is half the diameter (0.100" versus 0.200" for RG-58A/U or 0.240" for RG-59A/U) of the common type of coax used on vehicle CB installations. That makes it less cumbersome and more manageable for you to use with your handheld. The entire assembly is small enough to fit into your shirt pocket.
