Cool man, you have the same CB that I have. Did you peak and tune it? I think mine is only pushing 25 watts.

Nice setup! I had the same exact one but just sold it to a good friend of mine that needed it for a weekend of wheeling. I was going to be upgrading mine anyway.

I wasn't sure you could peak and tune that model of cb?

Yep. I started with 4 and now have 25 watts. Did it at my local truck stop. They had to take the cover off and get inside.

I just put that CB in my truck, but I molded it into my Explorer center console.
