Now I just have to figure out where I'm going to mount everything in a 2000 Jimmy. Thank you sir for all of your input and responses. I definitely feel more confident hooking this stuff up now.

Awesome that is what i was thinking, though I didn't want to cause any harm to anything. I didn't metion the size now did I? It is the 500.

The radio is a Grant XL which I just purchased last month. The amp I have had for about 20 years-ish. I ran it when I had it years ago but I fried the Cobra I was running back then. So I guess I am kinda new all over again with the amp, well and radios in general although I have learned allot...

Alright fellas, I think it's time to hook up my Texas Star in my mobile. I don't think there are any locals around here or they just aren't answering. Aside from grounding and proper wiring is there anything else I need to do? I do have dial a watt on my rig so if I need to turn down output I...

One other thing that I should have mentioned is that the squelch doesn't silence the noise when turned all the way down. In other words there is always static.

Cool thank you. I wasn't sure. I haven't had a CB in 20 years I just didn't know.

I had it on all the way home from work which is about 25 minutes, is that long enough?

Here are the photos.

I finally got around to mostly hooking up my radio. Power straight from the battery and ground from my seat bolt. I was trying to squelch it out and with the squelch all the way down I can't get the meter to move at all, on the radio or my swr meter. If I start turning up the squelch the meter...

No problem, the one I bought the guy had used recently and was still working well, with some luck I'll get some life before it goes to the shop.

I'm sure I will, I searched around for a good deal on an older rig, I wasn't sure about the new radios. This is why after a year I finally have a rig.

At this time I don't want to do anything to it. I am just a curious kind of person that's all. I will eventually take it to a local shop and have it checked out. Make sure all is well. The guy I got it from said it's a good working radio has too many and didn't need it.

Well I still have had no luck, thanks for the replies. I am now going to focus on antenna mounting and location. I probably shouldn't really care when it was made as long as it works. :)

Forgot about cb tricks, thanks for the reminder.

Afternoon all, I haven't been on in awhile due to no time or radio so i kinda drifted away. Today I was browsing craigslist and came across a Uniden Grant XL for 50 bucks so I picked it up. It was an older post probably a month old I was sure it would have been sold but I called anyway...

Getting closer, he's up to 3400 now. :D

Yeah it would be bought for sure.

He sure does and he kinds keeps things upbeat.

Looking through the comments, it says that he has gained over 600 hundred in the last couple of days, could be smoke, take it for what it's worth. Could be a new radio.:). Or it might take 3 years and the radio will be out dated. :D

Does anybody follow this guy? He is and Elecraft are giving away a KX2 when he hits 5000 subs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnxONIjovn4 If this is not allowed please delete. I am in no way affiliated to this guy, I just found his videos a couple days ago, figured ya'll might like to get in on this...
