    If California is your state, I heard there’s a very reputable shop at the Redding T/A

    Good.

    There’s a shop in Fontana broadcasting. I’d rather go with any recommendation.

    I’m really digging the CB.

    Three times in the last few days it helped me get to the correct lane when there was a crash. I also delivered to a place that it turns out if you call the guard shack on your phone you wait a long time for a door. They usher the drivers with CB’s to the front of the line since, and I quote, “were real drivers”. Don’t worry. I won’t let that go to my head.

    Reception seems fine. But I do think I’m having antenna envy. Are those adjustable fire stick ones good? Kinda don’t want to mess with it, but I think my range is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile. I’d like a smidge more. $30 would be worth it.

    I like my 5' adjustable-tip Firestick but at least one member here swears by the adjustable Skip Shooter. I may try one out my own self ;-)

    I own both. Skipshooter first choice every time.

    Order online. Delivery is quick. Recommend “natural” color.

    You should be able to use the 7’.

    As in above posts, find a shop with an antenna analyzer to help dial in.

    Skipshooter is what I have. It’s easy to adjust.
