<p>[QUOTE="kd5drx, post: 737042, member: 4961"]Ok if you are going to set up right in a truck you need the cobra type for CB 11 meters then you need the real HAM radio's. I ran a Icom 706 and a screwdriver with a 500 watt amp and talked all over the world and with the 706 you get 2 Meter and 440 as well as the HF bands so you get all the best and the 6 meter is about dead any more but some time it is open but thats the reason they call it the magic band it is then its gone again. good luck and welcome to the HAM world sounds like you have on of the old timers living next to you learn from him he has forgot more than most will ever know so use this time to learn the old ways they are still the best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
