stevebeilgard Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 dropped using cb's in the mid 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoytguy Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 The CB I have in my truck is Galaxy 66. Just remember...quality coaxial cable and a noise canceling mike. Oh yea...and make sure your antenna base/bases are grounded good. single antennas work great if all the above is met. My antennas are dual Wilson 2000's. I lost ya didn't I ???

Bowtech_archer07 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 No you didn't. I have a Uniden Pro 510. Not sure about the noise cancelling mike, just know it's 1000 ohm. It's a 40 channel CB with an Automatic Noise Limiter. I have single antenna that came in the deal, it's mounted on the roof of my truck. Might cophase dual 5 foot antennas this summer when I can pay for the antennas and when I get my new toolbox for my truck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yup. Cobra 29 LTD Classic with the wattage tweeked to max and an external speaker. Run it through a Wilson 5000 antenna. Works real well. I generally only use it on trips or when I see a traffic situation. It has saved me some long waits due to interstate accidents in the past. Too bad a guy can't have it on all the time. The majority of truckers have gotten so foul-mouthed that you can't have the radio on with kids in the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 nope.....I use to when I was younger. Same here. I think our old Cobra CB is in my Dad's garage somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoytguy Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I know the language is bad these days. Everyone acts big and bad on the radio.(CB Rambo's) I use it when I get to big cities and ask for some local info for directions. On the road, I leave it off most of the time.
