so would something cheap like this

and like a 4' firestik do the job?

 

yeah, My set up with the CB and Firestick antenna and cable came to about $100, maybe less.
the hard part is wiring it up and tuning the antenna but it can be done in a day.

 

awesome ill probably do it sometime after the meet. might as well grab a PA speaker and hook that bad boy up while im at it

 

I installed a PA speaker last week. Its pretty cool to have

 

Thats what I was thinkin too. lol

 

I'll probably do more bad than good with it

 

Dont we all

 

4' would be on the tall side, but it will work well. 3' would do just fine as well.

Hey did you ever re-ground the antenna? We might need to retune at the meet.

what did you go with for that? how much and where did you get it?

 

Bad news. Well ladies and gents, I can't make it to the meet. My wife has been having more contractions and she feels the baby can come any day. It's been a difficult pregnancy for her.

I absolutely hate to miss this meet and greet/trail run. I've been looking forward to this trip for the past month with nothing but excitement and anticipation. I was hoping to get to meet all of you. Again, as much as I hate to miss this run I would hate to miss the birth of my baby girl even more. Hopefully you all can understand.

I look forward to viewing all the pictures and hearing the stories from this EPIC Arizona gathering. I'd ordered 2 - "ATOM" shirts maybe David (YumaTRD) can grab them for me I hope.

 

Ill pick them up for ya, no problem.
Hope everything goes well with the baby.

 

Sacrafice! Mayyyybe she will go into labor in like an hour and you'll be able to make it to the meet though

 

I did reground, once i sanded the surface to get better ground. I actually ordered a cheap SWR meter on monday and hope it gets here by Friday to tune it before the meet. If it doesn't arrive, then i will need to meet up to do that.

I bought an older version (for $15) of this speaker from radioshack. VVV

it was simple to install. i just had to buy a longer aux speaker cable. so the total cost less than $30. You could check it out at the meet and see how you like it.

 

That is fine. I will give your shirts to David to deliver to you. Congrats to you and your wife.

x2. I hope everything goes well.

 

I'm thinking about getting one before the meet...

 

So i guess i know what your doing today!

 

i think the cobra 75 has an aux out that i can plug into my stereo for bette sound

 

yes...I think so too.

 

Sitting next to me at my desk is my new 50W PA speaker and 150W amp that was just delivered and I'm going to hook up tonight. I hope this shit is as loud as I expect it to be, or louder. If it works well, maybe I'll get another speaker for the other channel since I can't bridge the amp or I'd blow the speaker. The current 15W speaker I have now is enough to get me in trouble, so I have my fingers crossed.

I love overkill.
