I'm soooooo frustrated with the sporadic performance and wild SWR readings I get while trying to tune and use my Maxon portable hand held cb radio. It's the kiind that is primaraly used as a moble cb, sold with a rubber antenna. I've had it hooked up to my 3' firestik and Arizona Rocky Road CB antenna mount.
After testing everything over and over again, and after going through 3 of these portable cb's, I'm looking to upgrade to a base unit for the Jeep while hoping this solves my problems.
I'm trying to decide between the Cobra 75WXST and the Midland 75-822. Both are available at www.walcottcb.com
Any one have any suggestions on which to buy?
What I wan't more than anything is a CB shop, but I can't find one less than 4 hours away!!!

 

i just ordered the cobra 75 kit from david at northridge 4x4. it is not in yet but they have good reviews and the guys using them today were we wheeled loved it. and you just can't beat david for parts and service.

 

I have this some model..inexpensive and works great for me and would recommend. Its mounted the same as WOL did on his write-up. With my 3' firestick SWR is about as close as you can get. Good luck !
