Connex CX46 TN1 10 Meter Radio, Stryker SR-A10, DRX-3402 Heavy Duty Antenna Mirror Mount, DRX-1518 18 FOOT PREMIUM M213, Combo
Connex CX46 TN1 + Stryker SR-A10 Antenna + DRX-3402 Heavy-Duty Mirror Mount + DRX-1518 18 ft M213 Coax — Complete Truck Install Combo
The full CB Radio Supply truck-install package built around the Connex CX46 TN1 10 meter amateur radio. This combo pairs a factory-rated 200-plus watt radio with the Stryker SR-A10 antenna, a heavy-duty mirror mount rated for larger antennas, and 18 feet of premium M213 double-shielded coax. Everything you need for a proper high-power 10 meter install in a Class 8 truck — radio, antenna, mount, coax — bought as one bundle so nothing has to be added later.
Who this install combo is for
- Class 8 truckers building a fresh 10 meter install and buying the whole antenna system in one order
- Operators upgrading from a stock CB antenna to a proper high-power 10 meter antenna with heavy-duty mount and low-loss coax
- Anyone replacing a CX46 TN1 install after antenna damage — the same components are proven to work together with this radio

Stryker SR-A10 antenna
The SR-A10 is a high-power 10 meter antenna designed after the U.S.A.F. Thunderbolt II. Silver-plated 6-gauge solid copper coil, high-Q design, stainless steel shafts and whip — engineered to handle serious wattage without breaking down.
- Rated to handle 10,000 watts
- 6-gauge solid copper coil, 100% silver plated
- High-Q coil design for maximum efficiency
- Double-wall coil cover made of high-impact Mobay plastic
- 10" and 20" stainless steel shafts
- 49" stainless steel whip
- Reduced static interference
- 2 year warranty
DRX-3402 Driver Extreme Magnum heavy-duty mirror mount
An oversized double-slotted mirror mount built for larger antennas like the SR-A10. The Magnum uses .250" thick extruded aluminum, stainless steel Square-Lock hardware, and a proprietary DX239 heavy-duty stud — this is the mount to spec when you're running a full-size high-power antenna and don't want the mount to be the weak link.
- 2.50" wide mount, .250" thick aircraft-quality extruded aluminum
- Driver Extreme exclusive Square-Lock hardware — stainless steel carriage bolts with an extended square shank that seats fully into the mount bracket (no turning, one-wrench install)
- Stainless steel K-Lock nuts with encapsulated lock washers
- Proprietary DX239 heavy-duty stud
- Threaded female nut in stainless steel, encased in ABS plastic for additional support
- Stainless steel center stud inside a 1" plated aluminum hex base
DRX-1518 18 ft M213 Quantum-Flex coax cable
Eighteen feet of premium double-shielded 50-ohm coax. The M213 Quantum-Flex construction pairs a tinned copper braided shield with a free-floating aluminum foil shield for ultra-low loss — critical when you're feeding 200+ watts into an antenna system.
- Length: 18 feet
- Impedance: 50 ohm
- Tinned copper braided shield (96% coverage)
- Free-floating aluminum foil shield (100% coverage)
- Ultra-low loss
- M213 Quantum-Flex double-shielded construction
Why these four pieces together
- The SR-A10 is sized for the CX46 TN1's power — an antenna rated for 10,000 watts easily handles a 200W-class radio without saturating, which means clean RF instead of a mismatched antenna that limits what the radio can do
- The DRX-3402 is sized for the SR-A10 — a lightweight or narrow mount will let a full-size 10 meter antenna wobble and eventually crack; the Magnum's oversized bracket keeps the whole antenna assembly rigid at highway speeds
- The DRX-1518 coax is sized for the run — 18 feet gives you enough length for a mirror-mount install on Class 8 trucks with clean cable routing behind the sleeper wall, and the double-shielded M213 construction keeps line loss down at 10 meter frequencies
Class 8 truck install notes
| Truck | Mirror mount notes |
|---|---|
| Peterbilt 379 / 389 | Standard west-coast mirror bracket accepts the DRX-3402; the 18 ft coax is typically enough for a dash-mount radio |
| Peterbilt 579 | Mirror mount to overhead console — verify 18 ft is enough for your specific dash routing |
| Kenworth W900 | Classic mirror mount; leaves the SR-A10 shafts high enough to clear the cab roof |
| Kenworth T680 / T880 | Mirror mount possible with the DRX-3402 bracket; overhead console radio placement pairs well with 18 ft coax |
| Freightliner Cascadia | Mirror mount to overhead console — plan the cable path through the cab roof channel |
| Volvo VNL | Mirror mount to overhead compartment; the DRX-3402's oversized bracket clears standard Volvo mirror arms |
| Mack Anthem | Standard mirror mount; check clearance to the West Coast mirror on newer Anthems |
| International LT / LoneStar | Mirror mount; verify shaft clearance to the aero mirror housing |
Antenna install and SWR
The CX46 TN1 requires antenna SWR of 1.5:1 or lower. SWR is set at the antenna during installation — the antenna is tuned by adjusting the whip length or the coil tap until the standing-wave ratio is where it needs to be, measured with an SWR meter inline between radio and antenna. If you don't have SWR verified after installation, get it verified before you transmit at high power. High SWR will damage the CX46 TN1's finals and is not covered by our in-house warranty.
Pro Tune and alignment
Don't forget to add the Pro tune and alignment option at checkout so that your radio is professionally bench-tuned for best performance per the manufacturer's service manual.
Licensing
The CX46 TN1 is a 10 meter amateur (ham) radio. Operating on the 10 meter band requires an active FCC amateur radio license (Technician class or higher). This install combo is not FCC Part 95 CB-certified.
