Im looking to pick up some coax cable to get my firestick antenna hooked up to my CB before the long weekend.

Ive stopped at a few places.


Princess Auto = Didn't carry any
Lordco = Stupid Sales person didnt know what i was talking about
Radio Shack = Didnt Have anything
Gemini Part 4 Jeeps = Sold out


Anyone know anywhere else i could buy one?

I live in Abbotsford, work in Cloverdale. The closer the better.

interior electronic's stocks firestick products and cable, on boundary in burnaby. I also found a tool place in abbotsford that was a firestick supplier, don't remember the name. I called the Firestik # 602-273-7151 (Phoenix, Arizona) and they gave me the number of the local supplier (abbotsford guy). The Abbotsford guy had every Firestik product you could name in stock, too.

Its not just an issue of going out and buying coax cable. There are many different types and qualities. You need to get the right stuff to match your CB. For example, Coax for 50 ohm systems employing a single CB antenna should be RG-58A/U. Dual or co-phased systems require a 75 ohm cable, RG-59A/U. Cheap coax will not have the same shielding qualities and a lot of the signal will radiate out your coax before it reaches your antenna. I recommend you take your CB or the specs and got to a place like SMI Industrial Electronics in langely which can tell you which cable and length you require.
