just got my CB antennas mounted, i dont have the radio hooked up yet though. im gonna post pics later on when i get out of school.

 

What kinda setup are you runnin? Since you say "antennas" I'm guessing duals, but what kind of antennas, what brand, what radio, and where'd you put all of it? I'm a truck driver, and therefore have a CB in all of my vehicles (lol) and enjoy swapping stories/info with everyone. Cheers!

 

Cool. Are you going to be using it alot. I had one too. I still have the cb atenna mounted up. I Didnt use mine to much So I sold it to someone that will. When Ever I go out we use hand held radios.

 

well i got dual 4 foot whips from radioshack. it came with the mounting brackets and wires too for 66 bucks. I dont have the radio yet because im still debating if i should go with a CB radio or a VHF radio...sorry the pics are taken at night, i just had work and other things today after school. let me know what you think guys!

Looks great! Good job!

 

thank you, thank you

i know i will use the VHF more then the CB, but the CB is more useful in the truck because i may be able to hear traffic and stuff ahead...im most likely going to get the VHF, because i like to know whats going on in the boating world and out on the water.

 

dont know if it is just where i live or not but if you get caught with a vhf in your truck they will burn you big time. I had a cb in mine for a while with a black and red firestick antenna. did not use it enough so i took it out.

 

eh screw it. What can you do fun in a truck thats not illegal[&:]

 

I don't use my CB much anymore either, I catch too much interference where I'm at. Only use it on the freeways every once in a while to talk to truckers, my scanner has been more useful lately when it comes to what's going on ahead of me and even what the weather will look like in the next hour or so. Got marine, air, fire, rescue, police, NOAA, and more on it, still gray on if it's illegal or not in Illinois to have it mounted in a vehicle, but mines hidden away nicely and I really only turn it on when I know the weather is going to be unpredictable or if I hear sirens.
