    @EatSleepTacos has his mounted on his roof near the 3rd brake light and has had good reception I believe. I can't remember if it's mounted to the roof or his roof rack though.

    @EatSleepTacos I think a follow-up CB radio tuning vid might be in order. Tons of people commenting about SWR and using the meter you had (all of which wasn't recorded). :D

    I have to recommend Tech Deck. Holds my phone, GPS and I made a little bracket out of flat stock and the bracket the radio came with to mount the mic. Can't say enough good things about it:
