CB Mount/Cable Question--Midland GMRS Cable

[DanW]

I'm wanting to use the trunk lid lip mount for a CB/antenna.  Will the Midland mount/cable work with CB?  It appears to be the same coax cable that CB antennas use.  

Also, any recommendations for a good CB antenna with an NMO mount that is 3 to 4 feet long?

Any help is appreciated!

I'm going to run a President Bill I picked up a year or so ago in my Jeep Gladiator.  It has poor options for ground plane, so the lip mount for the hood is probably the best that can be had.  So that's why I'm going that direction.

1. Yes the mount will work. 
2. My mistake. I read the question incorrectly. I don’t know.

MXTA26 is not a CB antenna....

Browning BR-140 is an NMO CB Antenna - round about $50-$60 online...  49" length

The mount should work fine.  Decent NMO CB Antenna is the Browning BR-140 - 49" length, runs about $60
