2018 F350 CB Antenna Front Bumper Mount
2018 F350 CB Antenna Front Bumper Mount Photos Finally finished up installing my CB radio in our 2018 F350. Antenna location would have been a lot easier without the truck camper in the bed....

My buddy was talking about adding a 100 watt linear amp to his cb. Seems like it would only help if whoever you were talking to also had a linear amp.
It's been a while but mine had a pre-amp(guessing the name) that brought in reception also,not as good as the output but it did make a difference.
One can also have his CB radio tuned and peaked by a specialist..So many things are in play and there are alot of things that can be done to get out better than the standard off the shelf CB...Most of which are supposedly illegal..I never used my linear around town so it wouldn't bleed on others CB's..Just in the hills.
A tuned CB and a high quality antenna properly tuned with an SWR meter makes a pretty good difference over an off the shelf CB and a bargain antenna not tuned in properly.
I have an SWR meter but I always had a certain guy tune mine for me..I just use the meter for when my antenna gets knocked around or off.
Heck,I even have a certified CB handle from the old days..I was a CB junkie at one time..Laffin
