Is the rear glass antena base convertable to 11 meter band width?

Just wondering out load here to see if anyone looked into what can be done with that base to make it functional. I have a couple of CB's laying around and wonder if the base is modulated for a specific cell frequency or straight up co ax direct?

Speaking in general, and not specific to the Mark, those thru-the-glass antennas are capacitively coupled. They would have been optimized for AMPS cellular, so 800 to 900 MHz. CB is around 27 MHz. That's a pretty big difference.

Thanks joegr for the info. looking into it more seams there is no hole into threw the glass. If that's the case, then converting that spot to a CB base is moot. It also looks like the cable may not be RG58U. Oh well...

Yes, no hole, capacitively coupled through the glass.
