Should have got a Whelen

 

ahh i fixed the problem. Didnt ground properly. I know shame shame. Woulda got a Whelen but the small town i go to college in has 1 walmart and an autozone, and sadly neither one carried it. Besides I wanted to save some money and get a lift!!

 

haha ye bad ground.

i only got my CB because it was 30 bucks at wal mart....wal mart down the street, and its all i need haha.

 

No kidding!!

 

Im not trying to be a smart*** but u guys should look into two-way radios. CBs are way out of date and sound like s*** most of the time. I two-way wont talk as far (15miles avg for high band, 30 or so for low band) but it will sound like you are sitting next to the person. Just some advice.

 

Ya but i think CB's look cool... make it look like a truck

 

Nice job, I have the same CB in the same location along with the same PA. Had to remove my PA cuz of the intake.

 

i have reached 17miles with my cb setup right now and the guy said it sounded like i was sitting right next to him so i would kind of rethink your statement on that, cb's arnt out of date people just get lazy with setting them up...

and ive got the same radio pictured in the first post a cobra 19 ultra 3 running a oil cooled antenna.. you may want to think about getting a power mic though because there is no mic gain and it makes it hard to get a good distance without one.

also i like my setup (all the wires are now tucked in the dash like the coax)

 

How well does the velcro work to mount a CB? I have thought about that but didn't know how strong it was, I am leary of drilling holes in a fairly visable part of my dash to to hang it.

 

Go to Wally World and grab a pack of the wide industrial strength stick on Velcro, you know the kind that sticks on like tape?

Take 2 strips, one toward the top, one toward the bottom of the radio, and stick them on, bristly part of the Velcro stuck to the radio. With both halves of the Velcro on the radio peel the paper off the fuzzy side, and stick the radio to wherever on the dash you want to mount it...

The end product will look something like...
