    Are Francis antennas still made in the USA or does their parent company purchase them off shore?

    Not 100% sure, but 99% sure they are now made in the east as is most everything else ;)

    Mickeyrat, if you've not found a radio yet, I recommend a Cobra 25 or a Uniden PC 68. I also recommend you shop around, maybe check out Craigslist or some garage sales with CB gear for sale. I say this because I have purchased good working Cobra CB radios with all 40 channels for under $20. The said radios i found for under 20 bones worked fine and had nothing wrong with them.

    I do have one now. Cobra 29 that one with the 4 color display.

    Issue now is switching trucks every 9 days. One of the trucks , I dont think the stock antennae are any good. Suppose I can just go through the process of bending the whips til they break from the mount and the shop will replace no problem. :biggrin_2555:

    Would really prefer to get my own complete set up that I can easily transfer from truck to truck as needed. I run a 6 on 3 off schedule. Switching between 2 trucks with 2 other drivers.
