what are the VR # for high and low power, and the AMC in this radio ? Thanks

Thought about the ball mount, but the antenna is mounted behind the cab on a 2'' wide steel strap. The ball would not fit on there. I did finish the mini, hockey puck looking mount last night. I used solid 2'' Teflon stock for the insulator. It came out great.

I just got a 2'' dia. piece of solid 6061 aluminum stock today at a local scrap yard, and am heading to a friends house to machine my own on his Bridgeport mill / drill tonight. :shock: :shock: I'll keep you posted how it comes out :wink:

Chief, your right. That is the most bad ass mount I have ever seen ! Wonder how much it is ? I've been looking around, and believe it or not Firestik has one mount that looks pretty tough for a cheapie. It's nothing like that M8 custom piece, however (bear with me here) I looks like the...

Actually, in order to simplify production, Francis started making the last generation of the CB28's 3 wire construction just like the CB50. Mine is black and when I was trimming to tune it I diceted a piece and there were 3 small wires in it. I did here from a rep. at Francis that they are...

I ran the 7' Skipshooter. Worked great. I did a "hillbilly" comparison test with a stainless 102'' whip and the Skipshooter performed just as well, and had a little less static noise at stop lights, than the whip. The adjustable stinger at the top is nice and it tuned well on my MFJ 259B...
