CB Equipment Options
 
So I got this as a random present since Radio Shack was having a little sale...
http://rsk.imageg.net/graphics/produ...264568w345.jpg
Dont have any of the other equipment needed though. I currently have a tonneau cover so I was looking at getting a bumper mounted antenna. But I want one that I can remove when not in use, I haven't heard anything good about magnetic ones so I want to stay away from those. Any ideas? Links are also highly appreciated...and I also have no clue as to how to wire this thing up...was looking at mounting it in the same area as Alon's:

So any ideas, links or pics would be awesome!
Thanks,
Jutty

firestick antennas! dual antennas, it doesn't help more signal but it balances better.

wiring is easy, ground power antenna and the speaker if it has that option

How much do you think it would cost to have this fabbed up to curl down below a tonneau cover?

you shouldnt have to curl it mounts in the stake pocket and "should" come out below the tonneau, i hope cause i bought this same obe to do the same thing so hopefully it works i should get it today so i will let yo uknow if it works or not

If you are going to keep the CB, do not get dual antennas unless you can put them 8ft from each other and with dual antennas do not go over 4ft tall.
I like the K40 wips they are about 40-60 inch tall and also I used the Full Wave Length antennas the FWL are 102 inch tall but they get in the way.
Try a CB shop they should help you out
