Re: The Official Circuit Riders CB Set Up

I had forgotten about the mounts until you posted yours and I checked the next day at our local store ,they dont list them any more.

I'm going to try and carry my ole Cobra 23 to the radio shop next week I'll see if they can get one.I also checked cause I wanted one but the radio mounts in the police cars are $280.00. I usually run scanner also.

Re: The Official Circuit Riders CB Set Up

On ebay for $499

This is only the third GM CB Power Supply that I have seen. This is for sale along with a NOS GM CB.

I like the various brands of CB that can be bought at fairly low prices if one keeps their eyes on ebay, The radio that Chevys10dr has is a fine example of the style of radio that fits right at home in our trucks.

I have this as a backup radio. It receives decent but doesn't transmit very strong. Next time I go past the CB Shop, I was going to see if they could tune it and turn up the power a little bit.

They did my Uniden and its awesome. Pushes about 20 watts and very clear on received signals.

If its a circular cut ... than I would assume they installed a CB Antenna in the middle of the cab roof. Another possibility is an aftermarket light?

Re: The Official Circuit Riders CB Set Up

That's what I'm guessing I'm assuming since its in the middle It would be cb. Single lights I've seen more towards the front

Re: The Official Circuit Riders CB Set Up

This is the radio that I will be using. I posted my parts radio verses the actual radio that I will install.

Re: The Official Circuit Riders CB Set Up

These radios can be had for good prices if one is patient. When someone see's this as just a 23 channel CB ... that is when you can get one at a good price.
