How To Power And Connect A CB Radio To a Home Base: Step
While setting your CB base station up might seem a bit daunting, it''s actually a surprisingly simple and straightforward process. Here''s how to do it.
When setting up a base station (fixed location) CB, you have two basic choices of CBs: Base Station CB – A base station CB is a table-top model with a built-in power supply. Has a built-in power supply. Just plug it into an outlet. Usually feature-rich with plenty of cool knobs and switches. Easy to access the controls.
The power supply is plugged into your wall outlet and your mobile CB radio will be connected to the power supply. This is generally cheaper than selecting the Galaxy DX2547 even though you would be purchasing two products (mobile CB radio and power supply) instead on one product, the DX2547. We have selected the DX959 and PS12 for this kit.
Power Requirements: Base stations operate on 120V AC power rather than 12V DC, requiring either built-in power supplies or separate AC-to-DC converters. Size and Ergonomics: Designed for desktop use, these radios feature full-size controls, making operation more comfortable during extended sessions.
Set up the base station using either the tripod or T-bar mounting method. You must use an external radio antenna kit for the internal 450 MHz or 900 MHz radio. To avoid interference between the 900 MHz radio and GPRS transmissions, do not mount the external radio antenna within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the GSM antenna.
