Only $50 for mount, mount hardware, Firestik antenna and 18' antenna wire. No visible wires and looks factory! Made specifically for a no ground antenna.

That's what happens when you use the search function and don't pay attention.

Did you run a ground wire to the frame? Also be careful if you get around any trees. That plastic is pretty fragile and it's not mounted to the body very well.

Best spot for the Cobra 75 WX ST is mounted against the center console under the drivers seat. Mic easily extends up and hand hang by the dash, while wiring an external speaker over the drivers head is uber simple. No taking up vital space anywhere

I've got this CB and I installed mine behind my center console between the rear window control panel and hard wired it to the cig style power outlet inside the console

I purchased mine through Quadratec (I think). Yes all it comes with is the mic (w/channel selection, volume, etc) an the remote box.

Antenna, Antenna mounting lug, Antenna mounting bracket, and coax cable all purchased separately. (unless you can find a package deal for the Cobra 75)
