Need Help Choosing CB Radio!

You have purchased a very good setup at a reasonable price. Should serve you well.

 

looks good. if you can, i would run a power wire from the battery to the radio with a fuse as close to the battery as possible. oh and dont forget to have your SWRs checked and set.

 

I still use a very old realistic radio

 

sounds like he was just trying to up sell you, Most drivers run on ch. 19, Whats your reason for wanting a CB?, If it's just to keep in touch with road condition, speed trapes, and the such, A small cobra 19, would do just fine

 

Just saw your post on what you bought, execellent chose, IN addition to having your swr checked and set, I'd also have the radio tuned and peaked, But dont fall for the "supertune" sales pitch
