The more I read up on antenna specs and coverage I think I will just have to do multiple antennas. At least two and maybe three lol.
This has some very good coverage.

So my spring/summer plan is an antenna upgrade. Currently have a mono band Tram BF2M3 on 20 feet of mast pipe. Works well for MURS and 2m talking. I might be asking for a lot but I need something that can cover 2m, 70cm, MURS, and GMRS. I've been looking at the Diamond x300a and a Comet GP-6. I...

So this is not my set up but I am curious about the suggestions I will get here. Local guy has an omni antenna up and on 36-40 LSB the SWR is a bit high, something like 2.0 or so. He runs a tuner all the time and also talks some in the 28.3 to 28.5 range. So here is the order of equipment in...
Bump on this, it’s actually the 4B/N model pictured below. $75 to your door.

This speaker has an A and B input. Looks like you have to choose one or the other though. I think it would be a bad idea to feed one 8 ohm speaker two inputs at the same time...
So in the spring of 24 I decided to stop being lazy and accomplish something. Since I’m curious about gmrs local and on vacation I grabbed the no test license for 35 bucks. Then I cracked a book and created an arrl account and got my Tech license. Can’t remember the total now but for less then...
It would take more than a firm ware update to do that. The entire case is molded at an angle. Can’t remember if I can post this or not but there is good information at the radar detector forum.

I would say at this point Uniden has made a solid argument for the number...
Remember your checking the SWR, not SWR's. Historically that feature on a cb radio has been a ballpark reading at best. By the time you step up to HF rigs things get much better. You can fiddle with it if it bugs you, best bet is always use an external SWR/Watt meter.
The RCI 2950 DX cd stood for color display. They have been discontinued.

26.805 is just outside of the "legal" cb 40 channels. If it is marketed in the USA as an FCC approved cb radio then out of the box it will not cover 26.805.
