    So... do you think anyone could help me with some advice on setting up a CB in my car? My boss has one he's giving me... and I was looking at this http://www.walcottcb.com/barjan-300305-chrome-magnet-mount-p-295.html
    magnetic antenna mount to buy instead of screwing up the roof of new car.... my question is... what kind of antenna do I need/should I get... AND does it matter with what kind of CB I use? BC really I have noooooo idea.

    I have a lil wilson and love it. Got my swr to 1.5 on 1 and 40. Very easy to tune. Its a magnetic 38in 300watt antenna.

    You probably don't want to know what goes on on that radio... :biggrin_2551: Plus you'll have to deal with all the truck drivers chasing ya down the road. When they see a girl with a CB they all turn 14yo again :biggrin_25525:

    yea, I got that recomendation for the K40 from some of our drivers too. They said I didnt need something that big unless I planned on keeping it for a while. And I was like "ummmm, hell yea" haha. Im mainly excited about going to the show this month in Louisville. Now... just to aquire a handle and learn the lingo!!!

    Well... I actually booked my room... in... ummm... December. haha. So Ive had one for a while now :) Thank goodness. Sheesh.

    Oh yikes... Large Car Mag... Ive heard OF it, but I dont know anything about it. I know they have a board, but I refuse to get on because I know for a fact that my exboyfriend and his PSCYHO ex's get on. I finally got away from that drama, and I surely dont need anymore of it! lol.

    Got a basic idea for me?
