Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I have one more. Will the Nagoya CB72 28 inch antenna work with the Uniden Bearcat 980SSB? Only asking because I already ordered that antenna.

Now, to find an inexpensive power supply that won’t look like I’m setting up an electrical engineering workbench.

Update - I ordered:

• Uniden Bearcat 980SSB CB Radio
• K40 Antenna
• Nagoya CB-72 Antenna
• Falcon Double Bazooka Cb Radio Base Station Antenna 11 Meter
• RG8x Coaxial Cable, CB Coax Cable, 50ft RFAdapter UHF PL259 Male to Male Low Loss CB Antenna Cables, 50 Ohm for HAM Radio
• TekPower Analog Display TP30SWI 30 Amp DC 13.8V Switching Power Supply with Noise Offset
• 3 Pin 2 Wire CB Radio Fused Power Cable

I couldn’t justify spending $150 on a Wilson 1000. Thanks for your help.
