    Tell me if I'm missing anything

    Hey guys. I put together an Amazon list for stuff I need to put a CB in my truck. Can you all go look at it and tell me if I'm missing anything? You can critique what I have on there a little, but please only for performance reasons. Not something like "I'll never use this because only...

    GX 470 CB Antenna Mount Rear Door

    Here is a antenna mount I built for my GX 470 using a framing bracket I found in my local Home Depot isle. It was made from a flat angle bracket. Part# may be in pic stamped into the metal. I made measurements and precision bends. The nice part is it bolts under the existing door bracket in...
