cb radio

Orite guys looking at buying a cb radio for my outing ive seen this one on ebay. 160976690776 is this up to the job as i dont know what im looking for if it isnt any ideas what one i could use thanks

The CB is a good one, I've got the same model and been using it for 18 months or so. The aerial that's listed with the "package" on ebay whilst probably works seems very short so your receive and transmit range will be affected. The mag mount looks small too which means it doesn't grip so well and can be knocked off easily with passing trees etc.

Hope that helps

Very nice idea with the roof rail - I'm using the same method (as seen here ) and it works a treat.

Two questions:

- Did you cut the plastic in the rail foot to make room for the grounding strap ? everything works ok after that ?
- The 2 DIN metal cage for mounting the CD player and transceiver ... is it an official Suzuki item or custom made/bought ?

Hello VAXXi, Excellent your CB radio mounting.

I´m not cut any plastic. Install the support of the antenna in an existent hole and ground it with strap.

The diamond biband antenna operate correctly with low WSR

The 2 din metal cage is a standard equipment (factory) of jimny´s sold in Argentina

Cheerio

I use an old Uniden 12 and it has about 20-25 k range with a magnetic base and the 600mm aerial. When at work I only use the short 150mm aerial as it picks up too much chatter otherwise from all the other construction vehicles over the 28 kilometres of road building.
