I try to help people solve their problems and not re-invent the wheel. A good basic cb system will give you years of service with minimal upkeep. Again, just my opinion.

I like that statement. Works just fine for me, myself and I. The rest of you can spend your hard earned dollars on anything you please. It's a free country and your money and your hobby. And have fun! That's what it's all about, folks. :D

Now I'm looking at were to mount my CB. I just picked up a travel Trailer so I need to also make room for the brake control.

Anybody have any luck with those stake-hole antenna mounts?


Used to use a GeoTool, but he is months behind in shipping and his Web site is all but shut down, not taking orders. IMHO the Better, but very pricey ($80 with shipping).

A great alternative is:

HANK BREEDLOVE MACHINE SHOP

About halfway down that page there are two models, each around $40 before Shipping.

Also, Sauder has a few, depending upon the type antenna base you require. Here's a link to their on-line catalog:

Any places in Vegas that might carry the Firestick antennas and mounts? Looking to get the Mk-204R door jamb mount and 4' antenna. Got my HAM gear from AES but I don't think they carry much CB related stuff, but will call and check.

** EDIT ** Looks like Radio Shack carries a 4' adjustable similar antenna 21-974, so I just need to find a suitable mount and spring now.

the petro gas station near the race track has a good selection of antennas and mount. the best i have found in town. the mount you want may have to be ordered on line if they dont have something comperable

i beleave the petro also has firestik antennas. fwiw, i've run one of the radio-shock clones and just ended up buying a firestik to repace it with. there is a place, radioworld?, in boulder city that may have what you're looking for. worth a try.

I ended up with one of the Radio Shack ones for now and painted it black.

FYI - just bought another of these for truck. It includes an antenna. If you pick it up at store like I did you save an additional $3.92 so it's under $34, not too bad. Added a $2.37 12v plug. Tested it and it work fine. This is actually our second of this model, now one in JKU and one in the truck.

So did you purchase it because of brand? Size? kit form? or cost factors? . . .

Performance tested and the modest cost.
The first Uniden 505 I bought 3, maybe 4 years back. It has worked well and I have had no issues. I have had issues with the one I use in the truck, it is older, many more knobs, the range seems to be more modest so I just decided for the price I would get another new Uniden 505 and put the old one under the truck seat as a backup radio, just in case. I really like having a CB on the trail.

Have a Midland hand held. Second one I've had. first on got doused with coffee, not good. I have used a magnetic mount antenna which must be put on the front hood as the JKU top is plastic and my rack is aluminum. Probably going to a rack mount antenna system similar to my Ham antenna. Get decent range now, however, the front mount sometimes hinders reception.
