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.

Can a uhf vhf antenna receive FM radio broadcast?
Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
What does the term uhf cb radio mean?
UHF CB radio is a type of personal radio in Australia. It stands for UHF Citizen's Band radio and operates similar to that of a two-way radio without any licensing fees.
What is the Motorola UHF radio famous for?
Motorola UHF radio is most famous for its ability to transmit radio in tow possible directions. This technology allows for communication as well as ease of listening.
How are the various controls and keys used on a UHF radio esp Squelch scans quiet duplex?
the various controls and keys used on a UHF radio esp Squelch scans quiet duplex are simplex and simplistic.
Why the antenna of radio are vertical?
Not all radio antennas are vertical.The main reason radio antennas tend to be vertical is convenience of mounting. Many early radio antennas were long horizontal wires strung between two poles or trees. This was also a matter of convenience in mounting such a long antenna (e.g. 50 feet to 100 feet in length).When you are operating radios in the VHF or UHF band a vertical or horizontal mounting of the short antennas used at these frequencies might be selected to improve reception of a polarized radio signal sent by the transmitter.
Can a uhf vhf antenna receive FM radio broadcast?
Any antenna can receive anything, but not very well unless it's the correct length for the frequency you're trying to receive. Yes, this antenna will work well so you will not need a special FM only antenna.
Can a uhf antenna pick up vhf signals as well?
Yes, a UHF antenna can pick up VHF signals, but not well. The size difference makes the uhf antenna "inefficient" for the longer vhf wave length, but some energy can be received by the uhf antenna.
What is a horn antenna?
A horn antenna is an antenna that consists of a flaring metal waveguide shaped like a horn to direct radio waves in a beam. Horn antennas are used as antennas at UHF and microwave frequencies that are above 300 MHz.
What is communication system of the aircraft?
Generally speaking, VHF or UHF radio. VHF is also used to communicate with ground personnel (heli logging, SAR, firefighting, etc). The 'system' consists of a radio, antenna cable, and external antenna. an intermediate antenna switch can be used to allow multiple radios of the same band to use the same external antenna.
What does the term uhf cb radio mean?
UHF CB radio is a type of personal radio in Australia. It stands for UHF Citizen's Band radio and operates similar to that of a two-way radio without any licensing fees.
Should you use UHF antenna with digital converter box or VHF?
You need a VHF/UHF antenna (channels 2 to 60 ). Check out: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/digitaltv.html
Will a rooftop antenna work with a digital converter box?
Short answer: Yes!Longer answer: Digital TV and Analog TV share much in common; they are both radio signals, and in the same bands -- in fact the channel number assignments for the physical channels are identical. Your rooftop antenna picks up the radio signal no matter what is encoded on it. It is up to the receiver (your converter box, f'r'instance) to make sense of what comes from that antenna. Select a VHF/UHF type.
Will a plasma TV work with an antenna?
A plasma TV set is just like any other TV set on the market. It can accept video/audio signals from an VHF/UHF antenna if it has an aerial VHF/UHF antenna input. It can also accept DVB-C or DVDB-S or DVB-T through the same antenna input. You have to refer to the manual that came with your plasma TV set to see what types of signals it can receive through its antenna input.
How can you connect an antenna to uhf and vhf to get both uhf and vhf on tv at the same time?
First, you need an antenna that is both uhf and vhf comaptible. Usuaully it will have a pair of rabbit ears (vhf) and a center loop or plate (uhf). Make sure the rabbit ears are completely extended then just re-scan your channels on your digital box or your hdtv.
What retailers sell a UHF antenna?
There are many retailers that sell UHF antennas. Examples of retailers that sell UHF antennas include Amazon, Overstock, Best Buy, Staples, Target, and Walmart.
Explain application of uhf yagi antenna?
A YAGI UHF antenna is made to be very directional and receive all the UHF frequencies better than any others. In the US, some digital stations are still on the upper VHS band, channels 7 to 13. More info can be found at www.tvfool.com.
What is the Motorola UHF radio famous for?
Motorola UHF radio is most famous for its ability to transmit radio in tow possible directions. This technology allows for communication as well as ease of listening.
