I use a small (1-1/4 X 4-1/4 X 6-1/2) Radio Shack CB. I glued some
velcro strips on the back and it sticks nicely on the side of the
tunnel. Easy to put in and easy to remove (I also use it in our
motorhome). I installed a power supply from the battery to under the
passenger seat. The antenna lead is also routed under the seat. At
present I use a trunk lip mounted CB antenna (no holes to drill--others
use magnetic mount). I do think that a Jeff Anderson coupler would have
been a better choice. We also have a handheld CB but it does not have as
good a range as the other.

Hello again,

I may be joining our local chapter (Mt. Hood) of MCA and realize I need
a
CB.  I would like to know what the rest of the group is doing on drives
without hand signals.  Now the question, what do you all have?  I don't
really what one I have to mount in the dash.  I've heard of ones that
mount
under a seat or where ever, but have a mike/speaker with all the
controls on
it.  That way when I leave the car I can chuck it under the seat and
nobody
will know I have one.  Any brand recommendations?  Anybody try any of
the
COMPLETELY hand held models?  Also, what does one of Jeff Anderson's CB
antenna splitters go for?  Am I correct in the assumption that this lets
you
use your radio antenna for the CB?

Thanks for any and all help you can give!
