Help between the two

Uniden PRO510XL OR Cobra 19DXIV

And what antenna to get


The use of this CB will be for trails and maybe some road trips

 

I have the package from 4wheel parts
Its the cobra 19 coax cable antenna you need to buy the antenna mount and swr meter!

 

I use mine for the same.....trail use and goofin' around here and there on the highway and whatnot.

I went with the Uniden. It's so compact, it sits right on top of my dash next to the the radio. It's as if the CB was designed to fit right in that exact spot. Also went with an old school whip-style antenna....didn't go for the fiberglass. Although the fiberglass ones are nice, and come with a tunable tip.

 

Do you have any pictures? I'm thinking of putting it inside my center console but I would still like to see how yours looks

 

I don't live in nice warm weather like you over in California! I'm in Jersey and it's probably the coldest night out so far this winter, so I'm sorry - the pictures will have to wait. I'm not going outside! haha.... I will try and take them tomorrow if I remember. I know it's a matter of preference, but when you see where I have mine and the ease of literally just plopping it there and not having to make room in the center console, run and hide the wires, etc, you'll just end up putting it on the dash.

 

No worries lol... Yeah I just want to get an idea of the location. I kinda want to place it somewhere that it will be hidden in a big fan of making things look stock but a lot of hidden gadgets like a sleeper

 

Well, that's where the personal preference comes into play....

Assuming you saw this thread? https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-c...ing-cbs-13899/

 

yeah i saw that... and ive seen a lot of pictures... but i guess at the end its like you said it comes down to personal preference.

 

Here's some photos for you...

 

Looks good... do you think the 520 is better than the 510? i mean are the 20-30 buck worth the difference?
