CB with remote or detachable head

[Sccafire]

Is there a company that makes one to be able to use in the USA? I have seen them for Australia but not here.

Thanks in advance,

Maxon at one time made a cb like that dont remember the model #. i searched all the cb shops on line. copper electronic h y electronics to name a few no luck on new ones .you might find one on c-list or e=bay

The only one that I know of that may be close to what you want would be the Cobra 75 WX ST Compact/Remote Mount CB Radio.

I don't think so......I think the Australian CB you are referring to is a Uniden product,if not, Uniden does make them.
You can always send them an E-mail and find out if you can get one from them or something.

Or you can always try to get N9ZASS to try to remember the number of his old CB ! and maybe he will sell it to you..........if its not at the bottom of some body of water of course with his HF stuff (HF is a lot like CB didn't you no ! ).........lol......For a guy that hates CB's he sure knows a lot about them...........well product names anyways.....lol.......just kidding.
The Australian Uniden CB product number is UH015sx............but it sports 5 watts, not legal in the states.
But you never know,you can always ask if they have a 4 watt model.
Good luck.

That would be a good question to ask kirk Z9NASS !
Or you could always look it up yourself and come back with the info.

I don't know of one today, but for old time's sake...RS TRC-461 1978
1978 Radio Shack Catalog page 161

If only I"d bought the extension cable I'd make you a good deal on one if it still works. I had one in my parent's car glove box. Even used a AM/FM/CB antenna coupler for a complete stealth install.

I bought an in-dash stereo back in '78 at Wal-Mart that had a built-in CB. The CB actually mounted under a seat or in the trunk. I can't remember the brand but that thing cranked up about as good as a Cobra 29GTL

midland 79-290 no longer made but could find a used one on e-bay or craigs list the face plate was detachable
