Do the quick-release connectors for CB antennas cost anything as far as signal loss? Anyone had/has one?
 
i ran one on my car and never had a problem worked great for me

What is this "quick release connector" you speak of? I'm assuming you're not talking about the connector where the antenna wire goes into the radio...

It's always darkest just before it goes pitch-black...

nope what we are talking about is a base unit that attaches to the vehicle and you just give the antanna like half a turn and it comes off or on

where do you get one of those?? That'd be perfect when you'd want/need to park in a parking garage.

Get The Heavy Duty Quick Release. The Light Duty Tends To Vibrate Loose And There Goes The Antena..
 
Some of the cheaper ones can get water in the area where they join and short you accross the ground sending your SWR's through the roof. Make sure you get a good shielded one.

It will probably change your SWR. Anything that changes antenna length changes it. Put your mount on then check your SWR.
 
Try the K40 whip antenna. Its 54" long and has like a 200 pound pull magnet. The whip and the bottom coil are designed to twist off as a conveince and theft prevention deal. Mine's clipped tons of trees and keeps going. Has a 5 year warranty too.
