Looking to get some equipment for a motorhome.. I got the motorhome used and it has a lame little (2foot) antenna mounted on the top of the aluminum ladder on the back of the motorhome. The coach is all fiberglass so a ground plane to use a good antenna will be a challenge.
I was emailing the fellow that makes the predator 10K and I think I will give it a try, hopefully I can tune it to low swr.
Since I will mainly be on 1 channel (19) I don't need a wide banded antenna. I also do not want to run an amp, but having good ears is a must. I do not have size limits, meaning I am not wanting a little rubber ducky because big antennas look ugly kinda guy, BUT I think if I get carried away, antenna MIGHT hit bridges, hehehe .. Motorhome from floor to top of ACs is 12 feet, and I THINK I can get way with mounting a 10K so that the coils are with the roofline or a little above. And have enough wire sticking up there that I might be OK.
My question is about the radio, what do you guys suggest to get? I do not need sideband or out of band capabilities, but I want a cb with good receive, I have played with some 30 dollar units and they leave allot to be desired on signal quality.
I would like to peak and tune the radio
I have been reading allot on these forums and finally decided to ask, since allot of the posts consisted of high-power or out of band use.
thanks allot guys/gals
