My mobile set up

[1977addis]

I have a Cobra 29 wx nw st peaked and tuned 20 watt cb and a radio shack pro 2096 scanner. both radios used cb coax. the cb has a 4 ft fiberglass antenna and the scanner has a 1 ft steel whip antenna

Do you have external speakers for the radios that are out of view? I'd think that the radios would be hard to hear. I do like the wood-working touch.

No external speakers at the moment, the cb is a little hard to hear when the truck is running but the scanners speaker has plenty of power, I may end up running some speakers behind the seat.

20 watts ? How did you manage to do that ??

I had a friend Peak it and tune I'm not the best when it comes to modding radios.

The difference between 12 watts and 20 is literally none, other than reduce the life span of the final transistors. 73, n9zas

Classic truck, btw

Nice truck, and console for the radios. I tuck mine inside the console of my older rig, then have two speakers under the dash. It is nice to have metal dashboards, holds heavy speakers and radios tight and secure.

At first glance I thought it was a cobra ssb Not that it matters, but same result. The difference between 4 watts and 20 is zilch. :wink: 73, n9zas
