If it is a Freightliner, get another antennea. The ones that come built into the mirror housings will barely reach to the other side of the truck.

IMO, I'd stop at a reputable cb shop and see what they have used...nothing wrong with a used Cobra29 or such...

My first "good" radio was a Cobra29 I bought used from a CB shop...that was in 1992 and it still works fine (I keep it as a spare)...
