CB Radio?

Just wonderin if i was the only person who wants one of these? My buddy has one in his truck and it so fun to f*ck with people and usefull to find people to tell u were traffic and cops are. The only reason i dont have one is because of the big antenna u have to get for them. I would deffinately get one if theres one without the antenna.

kikoy has a little shameless behaviour in the past
you can have a decent antenna(glass mount)....its aveailable @ radioshack...anyway on the scanner side you may want a dual trunking radio/scanner to get the cop/city/government channels......

and yeah i forgot to mention...i used to be a Amateur radio enthusiast before in the philippines(DU2-KKY) and on CB radio my call sign is KKY-63129 here in st. louis....

just goto walmart you can get a glass mount for $15ish and a moutable deck style cb for $40, w/all mounting brackets and stuff to do a hardwire.. $55 would get u a cb w/ a cellular style looking antenna it'd fit just fine, wouldnt look out of place at all..

i usually see em around where the coin tray is, but i've never seen em in civics, maybe under the deck if there is enough gap so that the speaker isnt covered/muffled..

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=2606837 << $34.96
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...732264001&rd=1 << $15 ... thats the exact same one i've seen @ walmart just cant find it on their website...

as i said earlier.. this is the cheapest setup i've seen.. only things u need are those 2 items, then u just wire 3 wires power (always on) power (acc, when the car is on) and a ground, then mount it somewhere and put the mic holder somewhere too, and thats the whole setup minus the antenna install, i've never done glass mounts before tho... seems simple enough..

i used to mess with that sheeit when i was 14 or 15. my cousin and i both had a set. i had a regular cb radio for a car, with a big whip (antenna) i think it was about 12 feet tall (i mounted it on the roof of the house). he had a portable hand held, we both spent about the same, and his hand held had just as good reception as my setup.

its fun for a while, but it gets boring fast. people on those things all have their own "handle" or what we call screen names or user id. me and my cousin made up our own handles and had fun pissing off the whackos on the spanish channel, and talking about random stuff with manly female truckers
