any CB radio users out there?
hey all. just curious as to if im the only one with a cb on here or not.
back in 2010 i got a cobra 29 lx, and installed it in my car. i think i did a pretty good job making it to where when i take it out there is no way to tell that there was ever anything there.
i used a piece of window track from a spare window regulator i had, and some sheetmetal screws. where its attached to the dash, its hidden so when i remove the cb, there will only be 2 1/8" holes pointing straight down.
heres some pics:

UGH!, I have to listen to those damn things all day long in my work truck. Sometimes the DX(skip) from a truck stop in North Carolina would bleed over the guy at the bottom of the hill from me. I wish the FCC would just sell the band to some business and make everyone start using FRS. Its quieter!

how about the big one, its a 50 dollar antenna by it-self and has alot better range, its about 5 and a half feet from the bracket to the top, i do all three for 50 bucks because shipping is going to be bad
