My last two trucks have been Cascadias and I can vouch for the need to run seperate antennas and coax. The factory-supplied setup is just awful; you could have a peaked and tuned high-end radio and it will still sound like a POS when you use the stock setup.
And he's also right about all the trash on the radio these days. A lot of drivers have turned their radios off (or not even install them) because of that. Just go to West Memphis, Laredo, or Atlanta and you'll see what I mean; a lot of big radios and even bigger mouths jam up the airways and you won't be able to get a word in edgewise.ComplyFly, Dominick253, Balakov100 and 1 other person Thank this. -

Citizens band radio (also known as CB radio) is, in many countries, a system of short-distance radio communications between individuals on a selection of 40 channels within the 27 MHz (11 m) band. Citizens band is distinct from the FRS, GMRS, MURS, andAmateur Radio Service ("ham" radio) systems. In many countries, CB operation does not require a license, and (unlike amateur radio) it may be used for business or personal communications. Like many other two-way radio services, citizens band channels are shared by many users. Only one station may transmit at a time; other stations must listen and wait for the shared channel to be available. It is customary for stations waiting to use a shared channel to broadcast the single word "Break" during a lull in the conversation. This informs people using the channel that others are waiting.

The CB radio is used MUCH. MUCH less that even 10 years ago. Drivers just talk using their version of English. I think the wides[read use pf cellphones and personal entertainment devices has killed CB.ComplyFly Thanks this.
