Hello, radio ignorant fag here.

So I have a 4W TCB-550 CB Transceiver. I also have an automatic car stereo antenna. Transceiver impedance calls for a 50 ohm antenna, the car stereo I assume is 75 ohm and that is not great, but that is as far as my knowledge goes.

If I rig a connection between the two, will I damage my transceiver? Will I be able to receive/transmit at all? I am incredibly poor and can't afford a CB antenna in time for this post apocalyptic scout themed backpack component to be ready as part of my functional Halloween costume. Plus the automatic antenna looks sweet AF, but I want it to be more than moving decoration on this outfit. It doesn't need to work well, it just needs to not fry my transceiver.

Can I get away with it? Wisdom needed.
