Don't mind at all. My goal was to get it on there, and not spend any money on it right now. I've seen the versions that travel across the top of the light, and down the inner edge. I'm not planning...

Got it. That's what I thought.

Neglected to ask a few last questions:

1. Will painting the bracket cause a problem with conductivity?
2. Should I use some dielectric grease for the antenna connection?
3. What about some...

Here's what I ended up with on the inside.

Forgot pictures of my bracket:

Finally got my stuff wired up.

For the location I went with the passenger tail light. For a mount I bought a $1.25 u-bolt bracket, heated it up nice and hot, twisted it, drilled the holes to...

I'll ha e to figure out the gauge and get more wire to get that far. Not much length on what's coming off of the radio.

What I really wish I could do is take that giant radio out of the dash, and...

What is the method folks like to splice in to get power from the accessory plug? A guy at the auto parts store said to find an empty slot in the interior fuse panel.

Thanks about the watts. I didn't know if it mattered, but noticed that there are a variety of wattages to choose from.

I'm going to try a Fire Stik, but which one? FS, FL, or WK? 5/8 wave, but which wattage?

Found a Firefly 4' 5/8 100 watt that I happen to just enough in the PayPal account for. Good choice for...

I pointed out the price down the street at Wal-mart, and they said $25 OTD. Works for me, after I confirmed that no one had been inside the box.

What route do you folks like to use for running wiring to the battery? Any holes in the firewall conveniently located already?

I'm going to mount the unit on the passenger side or the center...

Is there any problem wiring a CB up to the "Power" plug wiring in my XJ? The plug that's always on. I don't want to run all the way to battery, and this seems like it would be sufficient.

I like printed material. Slow reader, but still prefer to turn real pages. I downloaded the guide to print out, and the apps to test myself after study, but haven't done any of it yet. Kids, cars,...

Haven't moved forward with the studies for the test yet, but I did download a couple of little study helper apps.

Was checking some pawnshops today and found a Cobra 19 Ultra III, sealed and...

My radio arrived yesterday. Charged it overnight and turned it on this morning. Listened to FM radio with it on the way to work. Seems like a nice unit, and the price certainly makes this an...

No license yet, so ....

4) who issues call signs, and what kind of response should I be expecting?



Listening to what? Never listened to anything in this way. People talking amongst...

I bought the Baofeng UV-5R that was recommended. The antenna in the picture looks good.

An antenna being largely a fixed length physical thing, how would you change the length to match the variability of the frequency range?

Thanks. No luck loading a visible page, but I'll check back.

Thanks. So "meter" is the length of the wave. That's probably obvious, but I thought it could have been the reading on a multimeter or something like it.

Bought the radio. Getting the other stuff next time. Will probably plan around with CB too so as to not be ignorant on either.

No. It's all good. What a meter is in this case would be good to know. I have a physics of sound class in college, a long time ago, and we studied sine waves. I cared a little, but not as much as I...

Thank you. I do not grasp the Hz and cm measurements pertaining to radio yet, but I do know that the low E string on bass resonates at 100MHz. I'll learn.

You mentioned a more powerful radio. Is...

Am I looking for the technicain class guide, or general? Thanks.
