95 Discovery/tuning CB radio

[merrillj]

I have been doing some research and decided to go with a cobra. The model is the 29 wx NWST. I am shopping around for my best price. Radio Shack has it for $159.00. What about the antenna? Should I get the dual or single? What type of mount for it? Thanks for the info. Jeff

You should only need one antenna (I assume dual vrs. single implies)
-I drilled the antenna bracket onto the spare tire
carrier - the antenna just screws into it and two
opposing fittings assure a tight fit.
I used a Barjam 4 ft. antenna - wired the cable through
a hole I drilled in the rear cargo door - weather sealed grommet used.
Then it is routed through the cable casing used also for the
rear window-wiper motor cable (can be found at the door hinge.)
the CB cable comes out through another hole drilled
in the panel (roughly 4" x 7") behind the passenger side jump seat.

Those were the difficult parts. Then just routed it under the rubber mats/drivers seat to
the CB. CB is attached to the center console (sits vertical), next to my right leg

Of course this is a "more professional" method. (took awhile)
There are other, easier (less professional) and/or more professional alternatives out there.

Hope this post helps - cheers!
