Sure, you can use it; but it might not do a very good job.
If you're listening to AM, you're receiving between 0.5-1.6 MHz, whereas FM is coming to you at 88-108 MHz.
The CB antenna is designed to be resonant at 27 MHz.

∙ 12y agoIf those walkie-talkies operate on CB frequencies, then yes. There are several handheld CB radios available. 40 channel handhelds are available from Cobra, Uniden, and Radio Shack. Radio Shack also has (or used to have) a three channel handheld CB radio available. It came with the radio crystals to operate on Channel 14, and you could purchase the radio crystals for any other channels you wished to operate on.

Can you replace an XM radio antenna with any other antenna like a 3ft hard cb antenna?
You can replace an XM radio antenna with a CB antenna, a ham 40-meter mobile antenna, a cellphone antenna, a GPS antenna, a TV antenna, a wire coat hanger, a 6 GHz microwave antenna, or a chain of paperclips. However, since none of them is optimized to operate at the frequencies of XM radio, like the XM antenna is, none of the others will work as well. Most of them will likely be so inefficient at the satellite radio frequencies that when you use one of those, you hear nothing at all on your radio.
How do you install a linear CB amplifier?
You don't. Linear amplifiers are illegal for CB use. The maximum input into the final stage of a CB transmitter is 5 watts.
How can you interfere with the cb radio next door when it is driving you mad?
Jamming CB RadiosCB radios are AM radios that operate in a very narrow band: 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. Because they are amplitude modulated, it's possible to interfere -- or "jam" -- them with just about anything that generates broadband noise in their 440 KHz range. Doing so purposely, however, is a violation of federal law. it is also a violation of federal law for a CB radio to interfere with other electronics
How do you calculate h parameters in CE and CB configurations?
You can calculate h parameters in CE and CB configurations by the diagram that you are looking at, but if need be there are a few formulas you can use.
What is the difference between an RC CB and an EL CB?
An RC CB is a Residual Current Circuit Breaker. It is another name for something more commonly known as an RCD (Residual Current Device). An EL CB is an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker. It is another name for something more commonly known as a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Breaker). For more information on these electrical safety and circuit protection devices please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
Do you have to have an antenna for a CB radio?
Only if you want the radio to work.
What cb radio magnet base antenna kit is comparable with realistic trc-148 cb radio?
Comparable or compatible? Any CB antenna with a PL-259 connector is compatible.
How do you ground a mobile CB antenna when using it as a base antenna?
How do you use a mobile CB antenna for base station antenna?

What base loaded magnet mount cb Radio antenna kit is comparable with realistic trc-418 radio?
Whichever one you like. Since all CB antennas have 50 ohms impedance and all CB radios expect the antenna to have 50 ohms impedance, there's no problem with matching the radio to the antenna.
What antenna do I need for my CB radio?
The main thing to remember for CB radio antennas is that taller antennas will work better. If this is for a vehicle, select a tall antenna where at least 50 percent of it will be above the roof line. You will have the best range this way.
Installing a cb radio in Chevy Impala?
Installing a CB radio in a Chevy Impala begins which installing the mount and location a suitable power source. The radio is then mounted to the dash, wired up, and the antenna connected.
Do people still use cb radio?
Yes, many people in the word still use a CB radio. Truck drivers use CB radios each day.
Will a 27mhz cb antenna work on your uhf cb radio?
No, this is not a wise move to make. The antenna metals are not the same. you have to know that antenna metals are different within all Mhz. 2nd- The connectors are different. CB has a wider coax connector and Uhf us smaller. Radio Range/ distance will be less if you use a short wave antenna known as CB. Best to get a High wave antenna- UHF. 27 Mhz is cb radio and the waves are low and long (about 11 meters). 400-460 Mhz is UHF and the waves are high and short (about 67 centimeters). You would need a UHF radio antenna to get the best SWR. Installing a UHF antenna on a car it would require a proper uhf antenna and coax and drilling and using only a UHF Coax cable with the connector. Or buy the Uhf magnet antenna. They are hard to find in your local city and they are pricy because you cant buy them used or at cb shops. you will have to buy one online or go to a Junk yard and find a Police car that has one on top of car. You can Mod Coax cables only if its a UHF cable and antenna. Grounding a car UHF antenna in house can be difficult. Don't run ground to AC ground! you can damage radio. Run Ground wire to the dirt outside and dig a hole and fix with a little water and keep hot coax separated from ground on uhf. Best is to run this to Gutter on roof. Do not MOD CB coaxes with UHF antenna or mix with magnet antenna or CB, VHF, Marine radios. You will waste your time. 800 Mhz police antenna will be your closest match if you decide to do this. It goes by the wave and wave length. Keep Digging
Does a handheld CB radio need an antenna?
Not necessarily, but the antenna does need to be grounded.
What is wrong with your cb radio if the person im talking to hears squea ling?
Faulty ground or faulty antenna.
Can you increase range on a kraco mayday cb radio?
Using a better antenna and coax, and having the SWR tuning properly done will increase your range. I'd recommend finding a reputable CB shop for your antenna, coax, and SWR tuning.
