Continuation of the beginning. - Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, 3.0L, 1998
After all of the above, I calmed down a bit and rather rode a car. But then I noticed that almost all SUVs have large long antennas. They began to find out what they are for. It turned out that these are antennas from CBC radio stations, and as it turned out, any advanced and self-respecting jeeper has one (radio station) in his car. Well, the search began for it, which could not be crowned with success for almost six months. And all not because I was picky in choosing a station, but because they simply were not in Moscow (it probably sounds funny, but it is). And the thing was that my search began before the new year and the goods that were in the warehouses of the companies ended, and the new one lay at the customs and for some reason did not take customs clearance. Anyway. Right before the vacation, I did manage to acquire the radio station I so desired along with the antenna. I bought the Alan 48 Excel model. I came home and ran to install it in the car. Accordingly, before installing and purchasing it, I read a lot of literature and stories both about the very range of using the station, and about how everything should be installed correctly. He got into the car, pulled the station out of the box and started looking for a place for its installation, turned it around as best he could throughout the cabin, well, it doesn't fit anywhere and that's it. And at this moment, when I was already completely tired of looking for a convenient installation site, I raised my gaze to the ceiling and lo and behold! I saw the backlight for the front passengers. The decision was made almost immediately, because I almost never used this backlight. The plafond was uninstalled and put on the shelf in the garage, a radio station was perfectly fixed in its place, and there was no need to bother with power supply. The antenna was installed on the upper right drain. Some people who are smart in radio topics told me that with such an antenna installation, the walkie-talkie will catch very badly. I categorically disagreed with them and as experience showed I did the right thing, the connection worked great! So, what I got from installing this device in my car: First. I forgot when the last time I paid a fine on the highway, because there is a channel of truckers, who, in turn, tell in it where the valiant traffic police officers, radars, etc. Second. It is very convenient to move around on pokatushki in several cars communicating by radio. Third. I registered as a correspondent for the Moscow Rescue Service and now I am talking with them about traffic jams, and they also suggest how the same traffic jams can be bypassed. Well, and accordingly, after all these operations, I again realized that this is all that is needed, but as it turned out later, this was only the beginning of a long journey, which is very interesting, informative and continues to this day. To be continued.
Price tag: 4 400 ₽So the antenna was placed along the car, and not up?
I abandoned the idea of ​​installation due to the fact that everyone writes that the antenna must be up, otherwise it will not catch!
No, the antenna is installed up, if you put it along, then of course it will catch, but really very bad. By the way, there are now small atennas on the market for CBC communications.
They are registered with the local supervisory authorities. I can’t tell you about the money, they say differently in different parts of the country. The permit is issued for a period of 10 years. I really like Alan48excel, it works amazingly, pretty reliable. It is the only big one, now there are smaller sizes on the market. And the main thing is to put a good antenna.
