Jim has a VX now? Gil "might" make it again this year? Should be a good old time. Info is starting to trickle onto the zuzoo.org website. We have another planning conference call next Thursday. I even saw a trail list spreadsheet. Keep checking, Moab Zu Zoo IX is starting to gather steam!! See you all there is a few weeks!! Steve G

I guess I am rough on CB's my 75 started having mike problems the second year I had it. Just seems like there is too much in the mike. I just had to take my old President out due to problems and put in it’s place a Cobra 19. Small, does the job and if it goes south I am not out much.Originally Posted by Triathlete
For those coming, please have a CB radio. You will miss much without it. Magnetic mount antennas are a good way to go with the VX since they are not permanent. My Wilson antenna lives under the hood most of the time until I need it.

My CB probably won't see as much use as yours Todd. I like the fact that I can take of the antenna and it pretty much disapears.
Speaking of antenna's what is a good magnetic mount to use?

Thanks Todd. I'd been looking at that one. I'll see if my local radio shack has it for a reasonable price.

CB is installed. Waiting on the antenna. Ordered the Lil Wilson. The sight Todd posted is by far the cheapest I could find. Local Raio Shack wanted $25 for a no-name cheapo.
Another ????
Is there a way to tune the antenna without a SWR meter and how nessesary is it?
