Very interesting that you rely on the 2M when the weather turns bad. When I had the near misses with the tornados last summer, I actually drove into one of the storms rather than away from it. I had no idea which way to go. Looks like I will need to suppliment the Uni 880 with a 2M rig.

I've got a 5/8 wave Firestick stud mounted on the roof of my Superduty. It works but I get a humming noise when I drive over 50 MPH. I'd like to upgrade to a Predator 10K or Wilson 5000 antenna. Will the noise go away when I mount up one of these antennas ? What happens if you hit a tree...

Not to offend any of the supporting vendors on here, but I bought it from customcbradios.com because a) he answered my emails b) he would work with the 880 and c) he tuned the dead key for use with the amp. My radio shipped last week. I should get it installed in a couple weeks. I'll...

Seems like Lisa is pretty busted up in that interview ???? Was her motocross accident recent ? Back on topic... I bought a Uniden 880 and got it tuned to work with a KL203, which I also ordered.

I've got a couple questions about stud mounting. I've got a 5/8 wave Firestick stud mounted on the roof of my Superduty. It works but I get a humming noise when I drive over 50 MPH. I'd like to upgrade to a Preditor 10K or Wilson 5000 antenna. Will the noise go away when I mount up one...

I was wondering what would be better to run. Thanks for sharing that. Do you have any pictures of your 102 install ? Any thoughts on turning the dead key on an 880 down to 2 watts ? Has anyone done it ?

I have a 5/8 wave Firestick mounted on the roof of a Superduty crew cab. Its probably not optimal, but it works. I'm considering upgrading to a Wilson 5000 or a 102" whip mounted in the bed.

Thanks for the replies. I think I am going to run 2M (VHF) and CB.

What are they using to talk to other drivers on the road ? VHF ?

I know VHF isn't CB, but I suspect that some truckers hang out here, so I'll ask it here. How many truckers are running VHF instead of or in addition to CB ? How many are not running CB at all ? I ask because I was recently on a long night trip in bad and very bad weather. I was...

I do a lot of long trips at night in all sorts of weather. I want to talk to oncoming truckers about weather and road conditions and I want to receive the NOAA weather band transmissions to monitor what is happening weather wise. I'm looking for a CB with WB for in my truck. I'll probably...
