I have a Francis 3 foot long fiberglass antenna. Does anyone know if it is weather channel compatable if used with a Uniden CB?

Will you be able to hear the weather channels with it? I would think so. No CB antenna is going to be very 'close' to the weather channels (160 Mhz +), but since receiver's aren't really all that 'picky' about antennas, you should be able to hear one of those weather channels at least, i would think.
