I know... someone slap me... I didn't snap no pictures yet...

However, I got a RadioShock CB radio and a radio shack black 2' fiberglass antenna, and about 20' of coax with PL-259 connectors.

I hooked it all up, and it works. I was talking to various truck drivers along the I-90 corridor... in my garage.

I mounted the CB radio to the glovebox with some screws.

Clean install and it looks totally awesome. Not to mention, tuning it was quick and easy with my SWR meter right at hand.

I need to get a fiberglass 2m/440cm that is a 5/8 wavelength antenna for my ham radio and do it up the same way I did my CB radio.

 

Here are some pictures!

 

Looks nice :] I like CB's but I have NO use for them...so until then

 

I just like listening to the dumb and ignorrant truckers on them, they make me chuckle

 

Seems like more and more these days all I can pick up is them dang French Canadians! (Not ment to hurt any of our Canadian members feelings but I can't even be nosey if they aren't speaking a language I can understand!)

 

I have my CB and PA just sitting in the garage, i need to go buy the antenna and put it all in.

Where did you run the antenna wire into the cab?

 

buuuuuuuuuuuuuumpp

 

I'll take some pictures... it really came out nice.
