Open the glove box, squeeze the top edges in, and then it pulls right out...

 

The mic has the on/off volume right there...

 

For those of you with the 75, where do you keep the squelch? like 1/3 turn down from the top or so?

 

Good install, where did you get the hardware (plate) to mount to the panel below the glovebox?

 

I adjust it as needed depending on the channel traffic. Usually that means adjusting it throughout the day.

 

seems like the best overall cb option for what i'm looking for. ordered and waiting for it to arrive.

 

Me too. I think that is the one for me.

 

Ive been looking around the forums for a Antenna mount and I think i just found the solution to all my problems

 

cb is here. ordered some supplies from cool tech - antenna mount, quick disconnect and mic mount. hopefully those will be here soon and i'll get everything hooked up. this has been a very informative thread - thanks

 

so everything arrived friday and i installed today. cool tech versamount for mic and ultra mount for antenna. i was thinking of posting pics, but guess what? they look remarkably similar to the others. i think the install went well and overall i'm happy - i wish the trim piece under the glove box was held in by more than just those tabs - feels flimsy. and, the ultramount method was very difficult with my aftermarket bumper - not cool tech's fault, just letting others know. i ended up cutting the screw holes for the license plate mount rather than loosen the bumper. but, i am otherwise happy with the install.

however, i've got 40 channels of nothing. i haven't adjusted the antenna, because if i'm doing it correctly i'm showing 1.9 on the meter, which i thought would be okay for testing. i've gone back through and checked the other connections. the ground is good. everything seems to be okay. i went out on a major interstate and i live in an area where jb hunt and several other large trucking companies are headquartered - i know there are active cb's in the area. any thoughts on what to do next?
