Has anyone heard of a way to hide a CB radio behind the bumper cover or something of that sort?

i'd like the functionality of a CB but don't want the ant. to detract from the looks, only need a couple mile range since its for road trips

 

It sucks they don't make shorty CB antenna's... or do they? haha

 

is it so you can be talking to someone in another car thats gonna be travelling with you? if it is, i'd just get some walkie talkies...

 

walkie talkies FTW! Great for road trips usually have 10-20 mile range, depending on how much you spend

 

kinda wanna put to use the cobra from one of our old F150's to use tho, thats the want to use a CB otherwise FRS radios will do the trick

 

YES FINALLY MORE CBERS!!!!! dont try and hide a cb antenna, cause you will just destroy your range. when it comes to antennas the longer the better. if you are just going to use it on road trips i would suggest getting a magmount, that way you can take the antenna out easily so you dont have it in all the time. but if you half *** the antenna and keep like a 24 inch through the class antenna you are going to regret it because you will have no range at all. and don't even bother with handheld cb's because they are horrible. i have the 100 dollar cobra one and it can barely receive a half mile away.

bottom line i would say get the little sill and throw it on your trunk.

 

they actually make cb/fm/am radio antennas that look like our stock antennas, but they have no range at all and are extremely hard to tune for swr and almost never get a good ratio

 

walkies got nothin on cbs

 

+1 to everything that grass racer has said ()...


when i had my truck.. i had a wilson 3000.. great antenna.. but a little will with the magnetic mount would be perfect.. even considering it for my car since i still have my $120 cobra 29 like new sitting in the garage..

miss the PA too [&o]... but who knows.. maybe ill wire up something so i can have it where it hooks up easy and be able to take it/out and use it for road trips as well..

but i do wish i could hide the antenna as well.......

 

i've got one of these

range isn't my deal really, i only need a couple miles, i'd jus like to put it to use so it doesn't sit around collecting dust
