Since you say "antennas" I'm guessing duals, but what kind of antennas, what brand, what radio, and where'd you put all of it? I'm a truck driver, and therefore have a CB in all of my vehicles (lol) and enjoy swapping stories/info with everyone.

Only use it on the freeways every once in a while to talk to truckers, my scanner has been more useful lately when it comes to what's going on ahead of me and even what the weather will look like in the next hour or so.  Got marine, air, fire, rescue, police, NOAA, and more on it, still gray on if it's illegal or not in Illinois to have it mounted in a vehicle, but mines hidden away nicely and I really only turn it on when I know the weather is going to be unpredictable or if I hear sirens. _____________________________ '95 Dodge Dakota 4x4 5.2L club cab - 219kmi - Dual Exhaust, Filtercharger '92 Dodge Dakota 4x4 3.9L club cab - 165kmi - No mods, yet (in reply to noodle) Post #: 10

RE: CB antennas mounted! - 4/28/2008 9:54:40 PM    alterboy   Posts: 87 Joined: 11/6/2007 Status: offline Good job. I want to get a two whip setup. Ive had mine for a while now and I love it. There is alot of cb traffic around here and almost anyone is willing to keyup and chit chat. All I have left to do is run the wires through conduit and mount the noise limiter. Now that it is in and works, Ive been putting off finishing it. I don't much aout vhf but eventually all our airwaves will be digital, except cb, just like the tv's did. If vhf will be effected they will charge you for a lisence to operate on a specific bandwidth anyway.

RE: CB antennas mounted! - 4/29/2008 5:34:40 AM    Truck Dude Posts: 381 Joined: 12/25/2007 Status: offline VHF is mostly boaters...i work at a marina and i have a couple jetskis i go fishin on alot and i would like to get a fishin report and hear how the water is sometimes, i believe it will come in handy.  if the airwaves became digital and you needed a license to operate a VHF, there will be alot of unhappy boaters, lol. _____________________________ 1996 Dodge Dakota 4x4 extended cab 5.2 V8 - muffler delete http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2975410 (in reply to alterboy) Post #: 15
