CB Antenna location

When was the CB antenna located on the B190s......I have a CB factory installed but I think the antenna is missing....a black cable is on the roof attached to nothing....Is that for the CB?

Good question. I thought it was installed along one of the sides. To be honest I've never seen one in person. But I've always planned to get one of those antennas that can go through glass or fiberglass and install it behind the upper front windows on the side.

Is your TV antenna wire hooked to the roof rack? In mine, that wire comes out of the roof and hooks to the roof rack near by - I'm wondering if that's your loose wire.

It probably the TV cable that is on the top of the roof but it is not hooked to anything....Thanks

I purchased my 95 B190 used and it has a through the glass CB ant installed on the upper passenger side window of the cab over. I do not know if it was factory or dealer installed. I have the original sales invoice for the unit and the original owner paid extra to have the CB added before delivery. My guess is that the dealer installed it. I doubt that the AS factory would install such an accessory. Happy trails Howard

At least in the older vans the CB radio is hooked up to the regular van radio via a signal splitter that is located under the panel in the top center of the dash.

If you remove the four screws that hold the panel down to gain access you will see where the radio antenna comes in and hooks up to the splitter.

Thanks all, Just as soon as I get home I will look for the antenna hookup under the dash.
