Ted - that should do fine on the trail. If it's a tunable antenna, head north a bit and I'll throw my meter on it and tweak it for you.
Dave - that could definitely cause some issues
Yeah, I kinda figured they would, lol. The coax was run under the back seats in that little trough, and over the years it's either been my Hi-Lift under there before I built the mount for it, and then my spare axle shafts. I was honestly suprised it looked as good as it did!
I run a Galaxy 93 peaked, tuned, witha kicker linear. Yeah it's way overkill but if you want to get out, you can talk loud and proud. I use it alot more than a normal offroad rig would. If you really don't know much about CB's you would be pissed off trying to run a unit like this, but it does give me something to do on long trips. It's about 3 hours to the closest wheelin' park in the delta. I have no trouble talking to someone clear across the park. As it was stated earlier a good antenna is worth it's wieght in gold. Buy a cheaper radio and spend good money on the antenna. You'll be glad you did.
Well I finally got my CB. Mounting the CB should be pretty straight forward. I plan on hard mounting it to the tranny tunnel on the passenger's side. Wiring is easy with the use of an "add a circuit". http://www.littelfuse.com/data/en/Da...FHM02FHA02.pdf
How do most people route the antenna wire to the outside? I'd rather not pinch it in the door jam. I was thinking of coming out the bulkhead above the rear hatch, but I dont think I have enough wire length.
You should have 18 feet of coax - Shouldn't be a problem
