im looking fo something handheld for $100 or so i can pick up off ratshack which is fairly decent....4 mile range and works inside the car with no static.
either that or amazon.
I second this question...and not to hijack the thread, where do you get those small antennas the cops have on their trunk lid? Thanks...
looks like im going for a ....
Midland 18-2442 Mobile CB Antenna - $14.30
and a
Midland 75-822 Handheld CB Radio with Vehicle Adapter $84.99
anyone have any recommendations ??
Hello,
Remember the 'shorter' the antenna the worst the coverage. A 1/4 wave is basically 9 ft long. The better 'short' base loaded antenna's would be like a k-4x or ones of those 'class'. There is a lot of difference between base loaded antenna's. Stay away from very short cb antenna's, there isn't much there to radiate a signal.
Take care,
spin
Since Jan. '05 I've been running the Midland 75-822 CB Radio with an external speaker and a Wilson 5000 mag antenna with a Wilson short-load...Quote:

And no interference with the STI, CB/Wilson 5000 and the STI a great combination :wink:
I wouldn't go with a handheld unit, but that's just me.
Go with a built in unit. You can mount it between your seat and the center console.
