Totally 80s. I had a K40 back in the day excellent aerial. All you need is Depeche Mode on the car radio, wait they are back on tour as well 😊

My first cb was a amstrad 901 as a Xmas prezzie in December 1981,i still got 2 in my boxes of radio stuff. I liked messing around with the Roger bleep components to get different sounds and longer bleeps!. It would be nice to see videos of your vintage cb radio's being used!!.

Never owned a k40 as yet even back in the 80’s always had firestick or similar type 3/8th type mounted stuff but knew a few people with thr k40 and seemed to perform pretty well for what it was and those amstrad radios I avoided like the plauge they just looked a bit too flimsy and the fairy light meter looked a bit gimmicky for me so I tended to stick with midland bleed over boxes instead untill i went ssb and got a 148 cobra

Hi Philip welocme to the channel, thanks for the comment. I have a 7ft genuine firestik I really must get on the go as they are a great aerial, the K40 works very well Iand pleased with it. I have to say the Amstrad works well too as the bands are fairly quiet today so rarely any bleedover now which is good. Take care and all the best, Mark

I just put a k40 on the car can’t get the SWR’s down on it . I’m thinking it’s the connector on the end of the co-ax 73

Hi david if you have a multimeter(dvm) check for continuity in the center core and along braid, then check for short between braid and center core. Good luck. Also some newer cars have poor grounds so try and external ground wire from neg of battery to the mount and see if that helps .

The K40 was well overrated, I had one, got on better with supposed lesser aerials.
