I have a Uniden Pro538w that I bought in the mid nineties to use in my pickup. I just had a cheap magnetic base antenna that worked ok for my cross country trips.

Now I'd like to put that cb in my pete 379 boom truck. I'm not looking for super long range. Just need to be able to talk to the folks in the yard house at the lumber company and nearby trucks.

I found the manual and it says it's pushing out 4 watts.

Pick a cheap antenna at a truck stop and ground the bracket well.

Single Sirio Performer 5000 with good coax and you're good to go!

Go with a Wilson 2000.

I agree. A wilson 2000, or 5000 will work great for what you need.
