Default Antenna
Are the CB antenna and the AM/FM antenna interchangeable? I needed the AM/FM but accidentally got the CB.

Yes as long as it's not attached to the coil then you can use it for FM

It's for an ultra that doesn't have a CB. I bought a short antenna to replace the long one but the package says CB antenna.

they screw on the same type and size on my bike , I think you will be fine , if you were using the radio antenna on the cb it may not work as well but you can use a coat hanger on the radio , go for it

I dont think they are the same at all, they are designed for different wave lengths. The CB antenna might work for the radio, but the radio antenna definitely wont work well for the CB

They are different, and they are marked as such. They look the same because everyone would bitch if they didn't.
