Do you still have to SWR (match) the unit with the antenna ???
Has anyone done that, and does it make a diff?

Any features (specifically useful for LSR) would be great to know about. I
have seen some CBs hooked to a loudspeaker in some pits but don't have a
clue as to how to accomplish that. Thanks to all, -Elon
anyone looking for a CB for their tow/crew vehicle, the "Pilot"
truck stop chain of stores has a sale on right now , until the end of the
month of June. on a compact Cobra 40 ch CB radio. Cobra 19DXIII
Sale price of $39.00 with a mailin rebate of $10.00. making your final
cost of $29.00 + tax... (normal price is $49.00)
This is a nice compact little radio perfect for small cars or trucks
easy to install and stay out of the way.. its small enough that you could
just lay it on the dash of the push truck, or put it in the trunk
when you don,t need it...
still need to get an antenna, ( I use a mag mount from Radio Shack)
much better than trying to find one at a yard sale, hoping that it
works.. :-)
