Radio **** Shack, should have it, it's only a hot and ground, two
wires. Try to find one that opens up with a screw, that way you
can fix it if it gets tugged. I don't like the ones with a rivet
thru them, although I've drilled out the rivet a few times.


Tell me about it. I had a riveted one that came with the
aforementioned Maxon. When it got a short, the best thing to do was
throw it away.

Sounds like you have smooth CB sailing. Where are gonna buy
your new radio and mag mount antenna?

Thanks.

They might be at best buy, or circuit city too.

Oh btw, be sure the hot lead is fused between the radio
and cig plug. 3-5 amp should be plenty for that radio.

I have a Little Will mag mount antenna already, the one I use with my
mobile radio. Any recommendations for a nice handheld?

And assuming the new HH comes with a rubber duck antenna, I may
experiment with the RS telescoping antenna and see if that's good
enough for my purposes. If I'm going to use a mag mount antenna, I
might as well hook up the big radio.
