I like to run a 96 inch stainless steel whip on the roof of the truck on a stainless steel ball mount with quick disconnect so I can change antennas if I desire.

My radio is Ham International Multimode III mobile.

I only have a cb in the big truck I drive for work. It's a peaked & tuned Cobra 29 Classic with a 636 mic and K40 4.5 ft fibreglass antenna. I have a Wilson 2000 and K40 Trucker collecting dust in my garage because the fibreglass K40 seems to perform better. I also have a 29 LX that I bought because....it was for sale....and a Bearcat 880 that I bought because Love's Truckstop had them on sale for $79.999999. I'd like to set up one of the new radios in my work car but there is barely enough room in an '02 Ford Focus for a walkie-T. Looks like I need to go radio shopping for a compact.

I like the Lee allot and it's loud but would like to get the Lee on a big antenna to scan more channels for a little while. It may go back in the truck in a little bit but I have hi hopes for this BIG 29!! So yea I want to try a Magnum and maybe Ranger in the future, just looking around to see what everyone is running.

More old school. A Browning SST II 40 channel from 1977 and a Channel Master base load from who knows when. Great SWR across the band.

Okay, okay, I'll admit it. I got a Cobra 19 DXIV. The Firestick II cost about as much as the radio. I needed something in the Jeep for when I go 4 wheelin'. Just installed it this morning. And now that it's there, I'm itching to get back into CB's. Been away too many years.

Oh well, I look at it this way. I got no place to go but up!

BTW the install went well. No hums, buzzes, gurgles or whistles. I listened to the wisdom on this forum and made sure everything was secure, located in the right place and well grounded. The first time I keyed the mic it was with a SWR meter in line. Thanks CBRT.

I run a General Lee into a 1x2879 Fat Boy Trucker Series with a Variable Knob. I get out pretty good, and I get a lot of compliments about how good my radio sounds.

I run a General Lee into a 1x2879 Fat Boy Trucker Series Amp with a Variable Knob. I get out pretty good, and I get a lot of compliments about how good my radio sounds.
I forgot to mention my Wilson 1000 Antenna. The Radio is set to dead key 2w on the low setting. I can use the knob on my amp to turn that down to a 1w dead key and swing to 50w, if I am talking to someone really close. Then if someone starts keying up on me, I just roll the knob and get a 5w dead key that swings way past 100w. If I told you how high that 1x2879 swings when pushed by a dual final radio, you'd say my meter is broken, but I know that it's not.

2012 VW Passat TDI, Cobra 29 LX keying 1 swinging 10, Palomar (vintage) 4x1446 putting out about 225 watts, Astatic 636L, Wilson 5000 mag mount on the trunk. The antenna location isn't the greatest, but I'd rather screw up the paint on the trunk than on the roof.
