I buy all my CB and Ham radio gear there. The Flying J in KY has a great CB selection but is way over priced. R&L is a CB/Ham radio heaven. I love going there :thumbup:

I just checked my garage and I have brand new coax with soldered PL259 ends and a brand new mount. I'll sell both for $20.

I'll be home or in Harrison all day Sunday if your interested. I have a SWR meter also and can help you hook it all up here and check your match if you need a hand with that also. I've been playing with Ham radios and CB's for years and have all the gear you need to do it right. It's one of many hobbies I have lol.

Call me if interested and we can get toether Sunday.

513-Three Seven Three- 77 Four 8. Call anytime after 7am is cool.

I'm at Exit 1 (New Haven Rd.) off of I-74 super close to Biggs/Home Depot where alot of people meet when going to Haspin. I can meet you there.

Joe


Edit: This offer stands for all if anyone else is interested just call me.

Wow I missed lots of posts in 24 hours!.

I figured radio shack had given up on cb junk. Hadent been in a rs in years. Figured it was just a cell fone store now. Thanx for the tip I stopped in mine in alexandria. Alas , but no cb junk. But he looked up and said florence one did. So I went there. They had spring and one mount. I figured since I already an hour from home id go on to flyin j ten more mins..lol.. they had the stud mount that would be perfect. And the spring. So I'm good!

I got a wilson 180 flex and coax from right channel radios. It had 259 ends on it. And stud mount said it was 239 ends. I don't know what's up with that but it fits so I guess I'm good...? I don't know anything bout cbs but know I need one. Used to have a friend that knows a lot but he's been a jerk/ too busy so that source has dried up.

I know I hooked it up and immediatly was able to talk to truckers from idk where, so I guess it works good.

I saw the swr meters. Might pic anywaone up one day. Hamilton is close to 1@3/4 hours aaway anyways. Thanx for the help guys. Learn somthin new everyday
