I can get CB through my work and was wondering what one is a better choice? I dont know much about CB's.

Cobra 75WXST $120
Cobra 29LXLE $107
Cobra 19DXIV $60

the cobra 29 is time tested and works well for what you need it for.

I have the 75WXST, I like the fact that it is small and the controls are at the microphone. I got it for $90 on Ebay.

Yeah I want something small was thinking of mounting on the plate over radio if I get that type or the mike type on dash somewhere

In my TJ with the 75 I mounted the radio box itself behind the glove box next to the fuse box. Lots of boxes. Not sure if that applies to the JK.

I will look and see what space there is for that option.

Ok got the Cobra pictured here. So where did everyone wire the power for the CB at? Going to mount my antenna on the left rear corner of my bumper.

Ok borrowed runda's meter and dialed in my antenna but no one answer's me and I only hear chatter when my jeep isnt running.
When it is running all I get is a loud feedback noise.
Any suggestions?

I would run the power straight to the battery.... also ensure that your ground is solid.

antenna ground is critical also..............

my antenna wire has the wires on the end and is mounted to the antenna mount. My antenna is only a 3Ft and is below the top if that a problem?

Subject: Re: What CB to get? Mon 01 Nov 2010, 9:52 pm

Ensure that the mount is grounded to the frame. Don't count on hinges body mts. Etc.
