Specs
| Model / SKU: | Cobra 18 RV Package + (SWR2T+A8X1 |OR| AUSWR) |
| Recommended for: | RV drivers who want to stay up-to-date on road and weather communication. The NGP (no-ground plane) antenna can mount to any fiberglass surface and still perform. Perfect for the cross-country traveler who wants to communicate via CB. |
| Radio: | This package is built around the Cobra 18 WX ST, which is a popular and affordable CB for RVs. The 18 WX ST supports 10 NOAA weather channels for staying up-to-date on local weather conditions. While most CB speakers are mounted on the bottom of the unit's chassis, the 18 WX ST features a front-mounted speaker for ultimate clarity. In-dash mounting is straightforward, as the radio fits into any single DIN-sized dash bay. The radio also features Cobra's exclusive SoundTracker noise-reducing technology, a heavy-duty 9' microphone cord and a generous two-year warranty. |
| Antenna: | The antenna and coax are the most important elements of a CB installation. When mounting CB antennas on the fiberglass surface of an RV, you'll need an NGP (no-ground plane) antenna and coax system. The NGP system creates its own ground plane, allowing you to mount the CB antenna on the fiberglass side, roof or mirror bars of your RV. Each kit includes an NGP antenna, NGP coax and all required mounting hardware. For useful information on installing CB antennas on RVs, please refer to these tips from and . We offer you a choice of three different antenna kits to provide the ultimate in mounting flexibility and customization.
|
| Mounting Hardware: | Each of the NGP antenna kits includes specific mounting hardware. The three-way kit includes an L-shaped mount that can attach to vertical surfaces and to vertical and horizontal bars. The molded side mount attaches to vertical surfaces, and the flat roof mount attaches to horizontal surfaces. |
| Additional Information: | Every kit includes an to tune your antenna for optimal performance. If you're not familiar with the tuning process, you can read why it's important and how to do it properly at the page. If you have a large RV and the included 18' coax cable is not long enough, you can purchase an additional and a double female coax connector to lengthen the cable. Note: If you need to add coax cable, BE SURE that the additional coax cable is between the radio and the coax cable that was included with the package. The NGP coax cable has to be directly attached to the antenna for it to function properly. |

Picking An Antenna Kit
3-Way Mounting Kit: This is our most popular no-ground kit. The versatile mount can be mounted to any vertical surface or bars, like on the rear RV ladder. Wiring is also very straight forward. The only downside is that it doesn't leave quite as clean of a finished install look as the side mount kit (see below).
Side Mounting Kit: If a sleek, factory looking install is what you're after you'll want to choose the side mount kit. Apart from the sleek mount look, the wires all connect inside the vehicle to keep the outside clutter and coax free. You do need to drill two small holes into your RVs side to install.
Roof Mounting Kit: Ideal if you want to mount on the roof, or on another horizontal surface.
Picking an Antenna Length
The longer your antenna, the better your CB system will perform. So we recommend using the longest antenna you possibly can! Here are the approximate ranges you'll see with fiberglass no-ground CB antennas:
- 2' Long - 1 to 2 miles
- 3' Long - 2 to 3 miles
- 4' Long - 3 to 5 miles
