So what are the advantages of CB over GMRS?
Sponsored
I mounted mine in the dash so it fires through the fabric behind the steering wheel. Works great. Invisible. I also set things up up so I can easily swap between a Midland MXT115 GMRS and Uniden CMX660 CB Radio installed in the console. Here's a link to my build thread:Has anyone come up with a good auxiliary speaker/location for their CB or Ham radio?
I'm working out the install details for the Icom 2730 ham radio and think I have most of my issues solved with the exception of where to mount an auxiliary speaker. I'm planning on installing the main radio unit in the front passenger foot well or behind the glove box, while the control unit would be located above the rear view mirror using the Trigger 6 Shooter Remote Mount. I just need to get a decent sounding speaker into the cabin and mounted so as not the be in the way or interfere with anything else.
CB over GMRS.... umm it's still somewhat more popular though that may vary by location and they don't require a license.So what are the advantages of CB over GMRS?
One advantage over GMRS is that CB is more fun when you listen to "Convoy."CB over GMRS.... umm it's still somewhat more popular though that may vary by location and they don't require a license.
GMRS is better than CB is pretty much every other way.
Looks awesomeLooks great! What is that mount? Did it come with the mount?
I highly recommend running a ground, it made a difference for meI've been looking at all these great installs.
Does the tailgate really have good grounding, or does it need an additional strap?
Thanks. It looks like 10 awg minimum?I highly recommend running a ground, it made a difference for me

I've got the President McKinleyAwesome, thanks for the pics.
I've got a President Bill CB on the way and an assortment of Firestik parts. Going to mount the antenna to my Arctec spare tire delete.
Where and how did you mount the main radio body?Hello guys,
I believe this is the best place to install a HAM radio. I am using ICOM IC-2730a in this installation.
Below are some of the benefits
- Not taking and space in the windshield
- way above so it is not disturbing
- neat and almost factory look
- easy access
- visible
