The Lair

Dunno I wont be there... it is at AOAA , but date and time are confused in my mind

 

Weekend of Nov 2nd thru 4th

 

thank you

 

No prob?

 

@Bocsy44 if you subscribe to that item on camelcamelcamel they will email you when it is on sale. Thats what I did for traction boards. Now to pull the trigger... i should have a drink or two, would make spending money much easier lol

 

it still connects to an outside antenna, its not hand held like a walk-e-talk-e. you mount a small box under the dash, plug your power and antenna into the box and then plug the cobra into the box. so the mic/speaker/and cb radio in all in the little hand held unit

EDIT: just re read ur post and I think I miss understood what u were saying hahaha I don't want hand held, I just don't want a big cb radio mounted in the truck. If I spot, I yell and use hand signals haha

 

Yeah thats right. Pretty neat setup

 

Chatty tonight! Just like the good old days. I had a dinner date with @Mobtown Offroad and just got home.

 

I ordered dessert for us and he said we could lady and the tramp it

 

So, whats the deal?

 

yeah I like it, its exactly what im looking for and should get the job done haha I wont buy it yet tho, maybe around Christmas hahaha now what antenna should I get?

 

What deal?? We just wanted to hang out and grab some dinner!

 

awwwwweeee

 

Depends on what kind of setup you are looking for. Magnet on top for portable. Those antenna are great also! Or fiberglass antenna for a more "permanent" setup like mine or like chris has, which means antenna bracket and coax wired discretely. Depends also on the antenna lenght you want/need. I like the 108" stainless steel whip, but a little overkill i think haha take a look at https://www.rightchannelradios.com/
There is a lot of information!

sounds good! Thought you were maybe working some kind of deal to become associates or what not haha

 

I want to mount the antenna right behind the cab. I will fab up a bracket that mounts the the bed rail on the cab side of the box. how much higher then the cab should the antenna be? you have urs on a spring right so u can take the antenna off quickly?

 

I figured you would be full on Chick-fil-a. haha

 

If mounted on the bedrail don't forget to add a ground to the mount to the frame. And yes springs acts like quick disconnect! If you get an antenna 4' or shorter I have one for you in my garage! Information should be confirmed but I think 1/3 of antenna has to be above the highest point of the truck, best conditions would be 1/2 of it, or like magnet mounted one, all above the roof. I also have the swr tuner hou can borrow when you are ready

 

You just think you’re soooooo funny Jerry

 

yeah im thinking of just going with a 4'. so what all do I need hahaha I have the antenna picked out, probably going to go with a Firestik. the cobra radio, I need a coax cable too I would assume lol any recommendations?
