Hey David,
This came up on the list a number of months back...
Do a web search for the Cobra web-page... they have all their models and
specs listed there and frequently have discontinued items for a good
discount. You can generally get decent discontinued and/or factory rebuilt
for reasonable prices ($20-$40).
I also recall some of the HAM's on the list talking about having a CB tech
install as they said there was some tweaking/tuning to be done in order to
get the best reception from your setup.
Hope that helps a little.
Duff

Ok. I've gone through the audio request, and as my electrical system is
just about dead, I'm going to have to do that first, but figured I'd ask
anyway.
I know there are a few hams out there that can help with this. I'd like to
put a decent CB system in the truck sometime. Don't know anyone that has
one, so it won't be super useful for a while, but could be cool if anyone
else has one at one of the Dak meets. I hope to make if to one someday.
Requirements:
Not too expensive (but enough so that it will work well)
Need to figure out where to mount the unit too, so small is good.
Antenna. My Dak has a cap with a 4" rise on it. Once I get my body lift
gears, tires, etc done I should have about an inch left between the top of
the cap and the garage door, so any antenna that's taller than that is
probably not a good idea.
Please include a cost estimate as well since I'd like to try to budget
approximately for this too.
