Best portable handheld CB

Another option is to get a cobra 75. http://www.jkowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71068
There is a link to 'stealth' install I have mine mounted in a very similar fashion. When it's not needed I just D/C and store the handheld.

If it's not too late another option in a Cobra 75 remote install.

Still would rather borrow a swr meter if I can. So if anyone here is from central or NE PA or comes to RC often give me a yell!

I have the Midland 75-822, and a 4 ft firestick. I have my antenna plug in my console along side the 12v plug. I like it because I can take it out, and ground guide without having to shout. Mine did work inside my Jeep on the trail before I put the firestik in, but it was quieter. I also have a soft top, so that may have helped the signal get out. I mounted my antenna on a home made mount on my hinge high lift jack mount. It also has a firestik quick disconnect, so I can take the antenna off for the garage. Nice radio for the price. I got mine at Bestbuy.com for $70, but I see they have gone up to $86 now with everything included except the firestick & cable.

Just got my midland 75-822. $76 shipped from amazon. I also got the 4 foot firestik cable, spring, and mount.
I haven't installed the antenna yet but even as a handheld it's a nice setup. Definitely looking forward to getting the additional range from it though

It's not to late, I did look at the cobra 75 and it is a nice little set up. I still am leaning toward the midland because I can move it to my expedition for when I tow the trailer too. Plus then I can take it on the boat for weather as well... I thought about getting a permanent set up but again I'll probably use the handheld just as much in other vehicles (boat mostly) as I do my jeep. I'll leave the antenna set up permanent to my jeep. So ideally once that is set up and tuned nothing should really change much.
