We’re soon going to be combining and we use 2 way radios is it possible, i have the connection to the antenna. so if it would help do I have a coil of wire by the 2 ways antenna? or what?

If you have a way to connect it to the antennae then yes it would work.
We used to do it with a handheld scanner.
CB radios normally operate on the same frequencies anyway. You may want to use a SWR meter as well to make sure it is set correctly.
Your question is a little confusing, well, to me anyway. By two way radios, I think of VHF or UHF radios. But, you’re talking about CB antennas, which is 11meters. Are you talking about two way CB radios that are hand held type or mobile type?
it depends on the type of two way radios, Most CB antennas can support a wide range of frequencies, look at the radios and try to find the operating freq. Then look for a CB antenna that supports the range you are talking in.

CB works wit a GP anatenna on a specific frequency (27mhz) Be sure to use the antenna that support the freq you will be using
look on wikipedia
