powerful CB?

How much money do you have to spend?

 

I got a Wilson 2000 with an astatic 636L mic with a Cobra 29 with the soundtracker, roger beep, and talk back. I got it off a friend of mine, it's an older radio but for being a stock one it gets out pretty about 10 miles, especially the Wilson. I was using a Barjan and it didn't get out for nothing.

 

i wont go wheres without my Mirage 6600/Roadking mic and Wilson Silverload.....she talks and sounds really nice....my backup radio is a Mirage 88....both take over the channel..lol

 

They all have a pathetic ground. KW's prob the worst. They work well enough for 4 watts, but nothing past a tweak and peak. Just ground to be safe. And you will notice a huge RX AND TX diff.

 

Yeah, I have to agree with wcb5, most grounds are bad. It may be a good idea to either

do a setup at the back of your cabin and ground it to the body there or you can get that

copper mesh that is used on vehicles and ground your antenna that way (to the body ) .

No matter how you do it , just make sure you have good ground.

 

Get a Cobra 29ltd.Great dependable cb.There is a limited edition thats comes chrome out with blue led and meter light.Rand R communication sells one peaked and tuned for $200

 

Last weekend whle my wife and I were driving to Menomonie Wisconsin we heard a guy on the cb that sounded like he was in some sort of echo chamber. He was very understandable, but way different sounding than anyone else. Any idea what radio would cause this?

 

Sounds like he just had an aftermarket echo mic. If not setup right, they annoy more then they help.

 

I love my Mirage88 repair shop special with an Astatic 636 and a Galaxy 2527 repair shop special that uses the same mic as the Cobra 139 ... Cobra 29ltd classic, repair shop special...also a classic Cobra 139xlr, another repair shop special, external frequency counter and a Astatic echo desk power mic...

The Mirage and Galaxy are my favorites, those radio's really get good distance...

Had to edit my post to comply with the FCC rules and regs...hmm
