CB radio complete kit?

I want to get a CB radio and i know nothing about them. What i do know is that i want this radio http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-18WXSTII-Mobile-Radio-Watch/dp/B00005N5WU and a 3' fire stick. my question is what else do i need to set this up?

and i want that cobra because im putting it under my radio

 

I know the 18 is attractive because of its single din size but I would not recommend it. It's quite possibly one of the worst radios out there. Personally I would buy a little Cobra 19 or one of the little Unidens over the 18. As far as The Firestik: 3 feet is not going to give much performance and Firestiks as a whole are crap in my opinion. For someone new to CBs I would suggest something like a Wilson little Wil. They are easy to set up and tune and will be far better that a Firestik. Remember you will still need to purchase or borrow an SWR meter to tune it. If you're looking for a complete setup I believe Right channel radios has them. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the info. I just wanted the firestik because its ridged, I hate whipps.
