I drive a truck and i have a lil will antenna
i was hoping someone on here would be willing to help a brother out
i will go no higher than 100 and i'd really like weather channels too.
Maybe this? http://www.walcottcb.com/uniden-pro538w-cb-radio-weather-front-mounted-speaker-p-531.html
but i'm worried it won't be peaked and/or tuned

.... well i guess you can try e-bay. but dont go with any of the CB sellers, if you can find some random guy selling his cb you might get lucky.... but at the same time you can also get screwed..... if some guy is claiming he could talk "150 miles away" dont buy the radio, if some guy doesnt own the radio or hasnt for more than a week dont buy it, you gotta be real careful, i mean its a hit or miss, unfortunately its more of a miss than a hit normally...
if i find any on ebay i think are ok, ill let you know.... but its always a risk... and they probably wont be too cheap
or see if your local show has a 29 ltd wx -
What do you think about the link i posted above
-
well i can tell you it wont be peaked... and if you like the weather band you gotta make sure that the wx channels you listen to are on tht radio, that radio only has 3. but i mean anything will be better than a radio pushing 2 watts... although most stock do around 3....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150255032762 this is just some of the stuff you gotta watch out for, only reason something should dead key with 1 watt is if your using an amp. theirs no way its swinging to 30 dead keying at 1 watt anyway.

that 3rd one isnt tuned, the first one i wouldent buy, but who knows it mgiht work, the 2nd one ... doesnt strike my fancy... its up to you though. they are cheap, so it might be worth it even if it needs to be fixed... (but maybe it wont)
DirtyD Thanks this. -

the sell seller is not too far away so hopefull it won't take to long -
