While I'm fairly new/uneducated to the CB world, I have used them before and know some stuff about them.

I went with the Uniden PRO520XL along with a K40 57" Whip Magnet Mount Antenna. While the Uniden PRO isn't the top of the line CB, I didn't need all the bells and whistles. Also the antenna includes 18" of coax cable, so I'm pretty sure I'm all set and don't need anything else. I'm aware of the SWR rating standard and that a meter would help, but I can bring it to the local audio place near me and they will take care of me if anything....

Now, I know everyone says they don't work as good as "metal to metal" mounts, but I'm no trucker and I'm not some avid CB talker. For the trails and occasional talks while out and about, it will serve it's purpose.

Anyone else know of any items missing that I need? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

 

I have an swr meter you can use

 

You would. Jord when are you getting your CB?

Joe if your just using it on the trails with a group it should be fine

 

I have everything I'm just waiting on the new tire carrier to figure out how I'm gonna mount the antenna. Also need a free day to start installing some of this shit. I have to do body armor, tire carrier, and cb.

 

Work getting crazy?

 

Yea, its just for the trails and goofin' around when in town or taking some semi-long trips.... So yea, I should be fine.... Was gonna go the FireStik route, but again - whatever.....its just for basic communication.

Thanks for the offer Jord....if I end up needing it, we'll meet up for a drink or 10 and figure it out.

 

schedule is all over the place. Night, day, night, day, night. 2 Interviews this week. I also coach little league football 3 nights a week, with games on the weekend. Debating right now whether to put the body armor on now or go to the gym.

 

I gave up on the gym 2 years ago.... Never felt better

 

I lift things up and put them down!

You guys are twice the size of me(not that I'm even big or whatever, haha). So, I don't wanna hear shit! haha.... If anything, I NEED to hit the gym....

 

Stumbled across this video of some jeep @ Rausch Creek on a black trail.....

As I'm watching, I said...."WAIT A MINUTE!? THAT LOOKS DAMN FAMILIAR!". How about you guys? Know what I'm talking about? I don't think any of us can forget that lovely debacle.....
