    Mr CB has a bracket I'm using for my CONNEX 4600 turbo Not one hole drilled glue none of that ..its a "L" bracket with a lip that grabs the upper edge and zip tyes to the center visor..works perfectly. And clean and simple to install

    If you are looking for a radio that will fit in the KW 660 and 680 look at a Mirage radio. Basically same innards as a Galaxy and they are the same size as a Cobra. I got a Mirage 36HP while I was in a 660. There is at least one other model that does SSB. Mine pushes 50 watts.

    A Galaxy 979 or Anytone AT-6666 would fit right in the factory hole.

    Do you have a link to the website or bracket? I don't want to give up my CB if I don't have to.

    Just got in one already know it's not a radio or antenna friendly truck at all. Rides good better than a crapcadia that's 4/sure. This thing is like driving a cab over I'm 6ft.tall no leg room and the steering wheel right almost in your gut...this thing is uncomfortable as hell !!!! In 2 weeks they can have the truck back and this job..... F--K THIS B.S.

    The antennas that come on the T680s WalMart bought work a lot better than anything the Cascadia ever had. I drove one a couple weeks ago that had unbelievable receive. The Cascadia had a antenna trimmer under the dash.....I wonder if the T680 has something similar that could be adjusted???

    Is one of the Cascadia antennas for AM/FM and one for CB It used to be common for the single AM/FM/CB antennas to have a trimmer as a means of adjusting the SWR on CB.

    Does anyone know if the antenna system is cophased ? Just wondering if its necessary to replace both stock antennas , and if only one antenna is for cb is it the driver side ?

    I believe their both for the cb both antennas. You'd have to verify that somewhere. That truck with just changing out the antennas with better aftermarket ones will get out distance wise a whole lot better than you think. Mike eluded to that exactly earlier in this post. He might know if their co-phased or try to dig out the factory coax end that attaches to your radio asap.
