Wow - you guys are quite serious about your communication devices .... your other half aka wife must be equally happy and benefited ...

The only reason why I might upgrade is for the 2-channel monitor or chatter noise monitor. I am using an older but small Realistic 40-channel CB where whatever channel I am on that is it - manual ;p

BTW I think I will order the Wilson antenna and give it a try. Photog's suggestion to slip around the door frame may work - worst cause is I will pinch the cable or it will always get wet as it will run on top of the weather seal.

We probably shouldn't discuss much about C.B. on the Amateur thread, and I will double-post this on the C.B. thread where we can continue the topic, but thought I should clarify that C.B. is still (and probably will be for a long time to come) our primary communication tool. Many of us have delved into amateur radio because it is usually a more reliable and longer reaching mode of communication in case of emergencies.
