Well, I'm installing a new CB. It looksl ike a family member is going to get me a Cobra 75WX for xmas. It's on sale at camping world for $84. Looks like I am going to pare it with a Firestk 2 in the five foot length. Any opinions?

I have a Radio Shack CB with a Firestick Antenna. It's nothing fancy but gets the job on the trail. Never had a problem with it. It was pretty inexpensive also.

Lol, that's actually true. I removed it, shook all the water out, let it dry out in the sun all day, plugged it back in and it worked like a bear.
Then I finally wised up and moved it to a higher location. If it's ever underwater again, then I've got more problems than the CB to worry about.

I've been running the 75wxt with a 4 foot firestik for 2 years now, and have had zero problems with it.....range has been good, the speaker is nice and clear, and I love the fact that it's a hideaway unit, very easy to mount...all in all, im as happy as can be with the performance.

I have one with a PA output. I like being able to talk at people, not in there rigs, too. It can also be helpful during a recovery. Alex

They would not move for anything and got mad at me ..... go figure. They are fast though, you should have seen the way they moved with a white Jeep barreling down on them. |
