Can the CB be mounted in a tuffy? or does that mess with it's ability to transmit?

Wow! This thread has exploded since I last checked in.

Most mobile CB's use 1/4 wave antenna's, however a 5/8 wave antenna will give you more range. A good 5/8 wave mobile CB antennas is sold under the "Firestick" brand name among others. Not all Firesticks are 5/8 wave so you need to read the fine-print.
I wanted something small so i got a Cobra 75WXST
The only point I can add is NOT to leave any excess coax in a coil - Ed can explain why this is bad.
Just don't coil the coax - use a rat's nest or just run the extra around your cab.
