Kent needs a CB

[kent10sne1]

well, i would prefer to not leave it in the jeep during NON wheeling days.  thats why i was going the cig-lighter route.   also..

i have off road lights.  3 to be exact.  i need to mount them with my mounting brackets i got to put up by the windsheild.  but. i have NO idea how to even begin. . this task.   

but thanks for all the tips, i have been looking for the sliders.  , im close to getting that posion spider front bumper.    a few more days..   

not sure who to order it from, whoever can give me the best deal.  i hope its easy to install?

The only problem with taking in and out of Jeep is you will have to set your SWR's every time you hook it back up

I had mine in and out, and reconnected the coax and SWR stayed constant. 

I thought SWR was only effected by the coax, antenna, and ground, and not by the radio.  A loose connection would through it nuts though.

Weren't you running the cobra 75 where the box stayed wired up? I do know the more you play with the coax cable and move it around it will change the SWR

[DOUG]

I do have a Cobra 75, but it came completely out and I ran another CB (peaked with 20+ watts of power), and then put it back.  Unfortunately the 75 can't be peaked.  But you are right, and you can take the mic loose and leave the box connected to the coax.

so, i will not beable to remove the cb or the antenna.  Hmmm im not sure i like that.   i prefer to keep as few temptations out of my rig as possible.   i dont mind so much getting it hard.wired, and i dont mind making sure the antenna mount is set and the cable going from the mount to where the main unit would be.  just still not keen on leaving any thing exposed for tempting eyes to grab.

i guess since i already got it, i will have.  but i will need to remove the antenna to get my car in the garage.

You could always sell that one and get a cobra 75 then you hide the brain under the dash and nobody will ever see it

[DOUG]

I remove the antenna everytime the Jeep comes home and goes in the garage...

I use a quick disconnect on the antenna....

And I swap out and use different CB's, and I have no issues.  SWR is 1.1.

CBs are not on the hit list of many thieves these days anyway.
