You just go to any cb shop and tell them you need an antenna tuned to work with the Garmin. I cant remember what frequency it is right off hand but 216 comes to mind. Anyhow they have a chart at the cb shop that tells them how long to cut what ever antenna you pick out to make it tuned to that frequency. I will do some digging and see if i can get a correct answer for the frequency. CircleC might remember what it is?? I got the cb shop to order some quick connects so u just turn the cable a quarter turn to change from the factory antenna to the modded antenna. I have picked up 4.1 miles with my cb shop long range ant. And a homemade collar antenna made from a single stand of 12 gauge speaker wire cut 20" long. This test was done here in the piney woods, The collar antenna lasted a couple months until the shrink wrap got all torn up from briars. If i could find some heavy duty shrink wrap i would make up a few collar antennas.
