Compact CB Suggestions

How about Stryker SR-89MC, i am sure someone will chime in with some knowledge of this radio.

 

Do you have a bench seat or do you have bucket seats?
This is how I mounted my radio and it doesn't take up any extra space

 

Galaxy 979

 

Define overkill, do you just plan on making local contacts 5 to 10 mile range or do you hope to make contacts greater than 10 miles. I am currently at home and yesterday I was talking to a local contact 9 miles away with a Bearcat 880 but another contact 15 miles away could not hear me ( but I heard him) so I hooked up my General Lee and was able to talk to him fine, and was also able to talk to another contact 20 miles away, so a Connex would not be overkill if that is the type of range you are looking for, and please dont come in a steal the thread and tell me if the 880 was tuned by a certain tech I could tx and rx 50 miles, dont want to hear it.

 

The most bang for your buck would probably be a Cobra 29 with a Sirio 5000 roof mount antenna with a hole in the center of your roof and it will outperform other systems costing 5 times as much

 

J/Cope I wasnt referring to you highjacking the thread and turning the subject matter into something other than your original post, I was just hoping others would not, but if you have the room( and I dont have a problem in my pickup) to mount a larger chassis radio like a Connex or 2 digit Galaxy instead of a single final radio like a Cobra 29, if tuned properly you will have no problem talking and receiving 20 miles with a quality attenna, and it looks like you already have that taken care of.
