<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Thrasher28, post: 11567439, member: 332572&quot;]New and pretty much clueless with CB’s</p><p>Cobra 29 LX, basic calibration, factory antennas (4’ each on factory mounts behind the cab)</p><p>1.4 SWR (using built in meter.&nbsp; I know, not the most accurate).&nbsp; Reception around 2 miles, transmission around a mile.&nbsp; Not bad, gets the job done, so no rush.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just got my radio a couple weeks ago, and already enjoying it way more than running without.&nbsp; It’s nice to hear about traffic, hazards, and just the general ramblings to break up the monotony and have a little entertainment (until the politics roll in).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking for anyone in an international LT that has info for the best bang for the buck antenna, mic, etc. setup.&nbsp; I reckon I could trial and error, take suggestions, etc., but just want to do things right so I can spend the money on the equipment and not so much on trial and error.&nbsp; Willing to ditch the factory mounts, since it’s obviously not ideal to be behind the cab.&nbsp; So, what antenna(s)?&nbsp; What mounting bracket/location?&nbsp; What mic?&nbsp; What coax length, etc. has worked best for you?&nbsp; Not really a budget, but not looking to jump in the deep end of the CB world.&nbsp; Just looking for a modest, reliable setup.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
