the clip they included didn't work well with my rearview (its made for the airhorn landyard on a tractor trailer rig)

i got a heavy zip tie, works great

i saw how you mounted your antennas, i wish i had a rack like that(that sounded wrong on so many levels), but see no need for one in my truck, or the money spent on it

 

I though about unscrewing the rear view mirror and putting it there. For right now I just have in under the sun viroz tab for holding it inplace. It needs to me moved.

 

where ever you can find a place will work, i used the zip tie around the rearview mirror b/c i had one in the truck
another idea is one of those permenant clips they include, screw that into the headliner, or the front side of the overhead console

 

Yea I think I'm going to zip tie over the mirror.

 

Mine Cobra 29LTD:

Took that after I moved it down there..
Was installed on top of the dash, but rough driving created cracks around the screws and it broke loose.
I have the power wire wired into the radio ignition wire, the antenna and PA wires run under the dash and out the passenger door.
I have a 30 something inch magnet mount antenna on the roof from RadioShack. I get SWR of a tiny bit over 1 when dry, bit higher wet.
I'm looking for a better antenna because I live in mountains. Maybe an amp, too.
I have a PA speaker mounted behind the grill. My mic is suspended from the overhead console with a small bungee-easily detachable and movable.

Any suggestions on a new antenna?

 

Wilison is a good brand.

 

I've heard. I was looking at a Wilson 5000. Don't really like my rooftop magnet mount, though. Low boughs of fir trees keep attacking it on logging roads...

^^^^ so you can run it up by the hood

 

The wilison antennas are set up better than the firestick's. If you go on a cb forum they will tell you to ditch the firesticks and get a wilison.

 

barjan also makes great antennas, i have dual 4 footers on my truck, and my dad has a single 3 foot mounted on the mirror of his super duty, and both of our radios can really reach
