After the anaheim meet, i really want a CB/PA Radio. Thing is, i don't know what to look for in a device such as this. Help?

 

Get yourself a CB, Cobra 19DXIII is cheap and easy.. Goto radio shack and buy a 25 watt indoor/outdoor PA speaker along with some 2-way speaker wire and an 1/8" headphone plug.. wire it up and mount the CB.. CB should be 50 bucks, speaker should be 20 and then 5 bucks or so for the rest..

 

Well, you will also need an antenna. The possibilties for this are endless. If you want something you can take down and don't want to drill holes, you can get a magnet mount. The best antenna setup is one that is permanently moutned to the roof by drilling a hole.

 

do you still have to have an antenna only if you want to use the PA....

 

No..

 

hey greg, where did you mount your atenna?

 

WAIT A min here I see Libby mod in your mod list, do show pictures

 

look in the anaheim meet, the truck that the girls are all up on is my truck =P

 

greg has a magnet mount that is placed on the top of his truck

 

Now thats more like it!

 

Gawd I love hooters..

 

Ok enough with the thread hijacking. Which CB has the best range?

 

Cobra a good one and then go to a Cb Shop and have it peaked, mine goes for about 4 miles in city and really dang far on the free-way.

 

In all my days I've never ever seen a 'CB Shop'. Where the hell are you guys finding these places?

I used to have a SNR meter and I used to tune the antenna and such myself. It's like $15 for the meter at RS (less at the pawn shops) and takes like 10-15 min, it's easy..

 

i mounted my antenna on the side of my tool box, but i guess if you dont have an over the rail type it wont work
