    Maybe I'm just used to richloam, we always had cell service or were very close to it. I'll just need to get Lee to help me tune my antenna before we leave

    My thinking is, if it's a solid radio like like the 25LTD, then the large illuminated display would probably sate my need to see it better at night and the additional diagnostic features would probably be useful as well.

    The regular 25LTD was $89.95 while the 25 NW LTD is $106.95 (okay so it's a $17 difference).

    @Alfuh you can save a little bit of money if you go with the firefly antenna, IIRC I got mine for around $25. It was under 30 anyway. Haha
    My cheap Realistic works just fine, no bell & whistles but i dont use it every day. Frank & I were just talking about how well mine does just yesterday. Maybe it's your antenna setup, just a thought.

    definitely more along the lines of the antenna and coax and not the radio itself

    QFT. You're antenna setup is definitely the most critical component of being able to get out there. The radio is more about durability. Even the best are only going to xmit 4 watts (unless you've had it peaked and tuned, and then you can get ~5 watts out of them. Both of my 25s have been peaked and tuned ;), but I don't know where to have it done anymore). Everything else is just how much of a beating they can take off-road and the whether the aesthetics of a given unit appeal to you.

    I don't think you'd make a wrong choice if you went ahead with the 25. You'll need one for the Hilux anyway. :thumbsup:

    Removed coal filter, Also installed AFE air filter. Roof rack with custom diamond plate air diverter.
    Damn, I got my CB at a garage sale for 5 bucks. I think it works just fine, but I do need to tune it to make sure.

    radio shack 40 channel mini cb....I mean...it works...but I just want something thats nicer and better. I only got that because I wanted one and was tight on cash at the time for getting ready for the citrus meet the 1st time. and of course I had no prior knowledge of CBs and setups. So now Ive got a Cobra 25 and a 5 foot FireStik II with a spring thingy

    lol, hey now, my little pickup needs a CB lol. Ill have to get another coax cable and antenna for it though. There might be something wrong with the radio shack coax cable and the antenna I got off a buddy for free.
