POLL Cb Radio use by state

[niceguy71]

Thanks for the headsup, @@niceguy71 I'm planning on placing my antenna as center as possible. Could you suggest a good relay, and possibly a picture of your relay? Thanks

my relay is under the RF bonding on the fire wall.
Best Buy's got the Relay for me and installed it I have no idea what it is.... but I know they would have gotten a good one.... they went from the battery positive only... with 10 AWG and put a fuse in.... then went to the below picture and mounted it on the fire wall... then I believe they cut into the trucks Stereo power wire and then went to the relay.. so when the trucks stereo gets power it pulls in the RELAY in ( turns on ) and lets the power from the battery go to my CB

Awesome, thanks for all of the information.

I was linking you to that post for the info and I thought you could watch the RF Bonding video now that you have so much time as your healing up... people have no idea what it involves to get a good working system.... I WANTED a GREAT SYSTEM and I did everything I could to make it work good...... so I did the bonding without even seeing how it worked without it...
I am a member of several CB groups... this is the BEST one with the smartest guys EVER! ... most of the other groups just tell each other to buy a fire Stick and bolt it to bed rail and it will be fantastic because that's what I did to mine!
but here you will find some truly great knowledge...... do I believe in the RF Bonding??? I really don't know... one of the smartest guys here told me it wouldn't do anything and he has never let me down... but many of the other guys sold me on it.... I figured it can't hurt and did it......
my Tram 3500 really does fantastic.... in a lot of the other CB forums guys said they tried the Tram 3500 and got 3 to 5 miles range TOPS! so maybe I got lucky or the RF Bonding did it's trick.
but as you heal DavitBT you can watch this... this is just part TWO! they guy is really detailed oriented

In the Detroit area, I hear some professional drivers during the morning. Most sound like they have regular delivery routes, or are driving the dumps for the various construction projects in my area. In the evenings, I hear base units in/near Detroit chatting.

I hear DX "waving" on 19, too often.

I mostly stay on 19, for road/traffic updates.

Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania you’ll hear the most radios. And the best.

Central and Western Tennessee a close second.

Highly typical. I went into detail in Do Truck Drivers . . . thread.
