Roof rack the best place to mount CB aerial & AM/Fm aeri

Just bought a CB and a whip for my AM/FM radio and wondering if they will 'interfere' with on another if I mount them both n the roof rack? Any advice greatly appreciated

Don’t think so. I have a CB and a licensed radio aerial on this rack and have no problems. They are difficult to see but if you zoom into the area above the passenger side roof lights you should see them

Run mine like that no probs. You may find you'll have to run one or two earth wires off your twig mount down to the chassis to get the SWR down though!
