Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. My radio is the one made before that one. That is a picture of the Cobra WXSTII - I have the WXSTI. I don't think it was a very popular radio. I got mine real cheap.
Looks like I'm going to have to try a new radio and see if that works. Those prices at...
No, it's not a walkie talkie
No, it's not a handheld. It's the WXSTI - the model before the WXSTII. It's a real, mount-in-the-truck radio, not a walkie-talkie.
My SWR reading is fine. I double checked it with my meter.
My antenna is mounted on my Backrack, which may be ground problem, but...
I recently mounted a Wilson 1000 on my pickup truck, thinking this would greatly increase my range. It didn't happen. I have a good SWR reading, and I can get a few miles out of it, but I keep reading posts of people getting 20 miles out of their setup.
I would be happy with five or six...
No, no licence. Also too expensive to get set up. I'm trying to convince other snowplow companies in my area to get CBs in their trucks, but they don't seem too keen on the idea. They seem to think cellphones are the answer. They are completely missing the point.
Can you use a HAM radio for...
I have CBs in both of my snow plow trucks, which has been great for keeping in touch with my other driver. The only problem is range. I get about 1-2 miles, then just static. I currently have a Wilson Little Wil and another equivalent antenna, which I know are not the greatest.
The problem I...
My neighbour said I can have this antenna, but neither of us know what it is for. Is this a CB antenna?
I get the feeling it is for TV, but there's always a chance.
Thanks.
I hope the Wilson 5000 will bring in more people. I'm sick of hearing 40 channels of static. I was trying to find someone to talk to today with no luck at all.
I was thinking of putting a CB in my Jeep, but I may re-think it if there's no one to talk to.
I'm in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada.
I don't know of any shops around that can tune a radio. It's hard enough just to find a shop that actually sells them around here.
Hi, this is my first post. I did a search and couldn't come up with an answer to my question.
I run a snow plowing business and recently put CBs in both my trucks. The problem is range. I'm only getting about a mile out of my Little Wils.
If I slap a few magmount Wilson 5000s on my trucks...
