Re: How do you have your CB radio hooked up?
I have a cobra classic wired up direct from the battery with the antenas mounted on the mirrors. The only bad part now I cant put my truck in the garage to work on it unless I take the antenas off first. It looks good though twin antennas cab lights and a custom 2 inch tube push bumper on my f250 kinda looks like a minisemi. Now if i could make it a dually and replace all the ford emblems with peterbuilt ones lol.

Re: How do you have your CB radio hooked up?
I am an old CB'er from the 1970's, pre and post "Convoy". A couple years ago, I found a used, 40-channel mobile radio at a rummage sale for $10. I wired up a 12-volt cigarette lighter plug, attached my old magnet mount antenna and away I went. I can move this rig from car to car, since I have so many (cars, that is).
In my youth, 30 years ago, the original 23 channels were so crowded with people that the FCC approved expansion to 40 channels. Today, I cannot raise a single person on any channel, even channel 9, the so-called emergency channel. With the advent of cellular telephones, only the truckers use these things anymore. But I am glad to have it, especially when my cell phone says "No Service".

Re: How do you have your CB radio hooked up?
My current radio is a modified Cobra 200 GTL-DX that's hard-wired via 10-gauge directly to the battery with an inline blade fuse so I can use it with the engine off, and in an emergency. I'm actually about to change some of the engine compartment setup and replace the 3 dangling blade fuses (2 used for other things) to a nicer (1) 4-gauge in/(4) 8-gauge out fuse block.
With this radio, I'm using a Wilson 1000 bolted through the roof. It's centered, but approximately one foot forward creating a rearward semi-directional ground plane. Here are a few pictures:
