CB Radio

Me and the missus were in Maplin t'other day and she grabbed my arm and pointed at a CB radio "you should get one of those for the Land Rover!!!" (I'm lucky I know.)

I have a spare section under my stereo in the dash, just wondered if you can get ones to fit?

No hurry or necessity, but for £50 it would be a nice toy .

Will.

Crap marked it as LR2, was supposed to be FL1!

you can buy din mounts for them ..

is that a 10-4 ..

Well my dash has had a stereo fitted and now looks like this:


So one of those mounts should drop right in!!

Freelander Antenna/Aerial mount for CB/Ham radio | eBay

One of those for the spare wheel mount. Use a standard dome mount for the aerial. I use a 5ft whip on mine and have no issues whatsoever and have had 20 miles out of it, however my 2ft struggles with anything 250ft+

take into account the ariel as well
height and allowance for clearance .. i.e. so you don't break it going under something
( i noted one that had something built in .. like a coil .. for better reception
( but same one was inflexible at the base .. so would break off in certain circumstances ..

i don't know if there's a cb ariel that don't shout out the fact you've a cb installed
( thinking of thieves .. something to think about .. )

couple more site i found earlier on ..

I see that the mount is made by our very own TeddyWood . Very nice.

That's good know . Hey are you the one selling those brackets on ebay? They look really nice!

Yes yes yes. I used to go out buying mounts to fit my attenas on and they would break in no time so when my wife had her freelander and as i am in Raynet which is radio amateure emergency network , and if we went out to either look for missing people or the like i used the wifes freelander and i used a mag mount with cloth around the base so it would not scratch, but found it soon got knocked of by trees ect. so i thought there must be another way and thats when I invented the first one. Since then it has snowballed i now do them for 14 different cars with the wheels on the back I am luck as i have 5 garages so one is the work shop and is full of doors for the different cars , as well as bending equipment and other stuff, since the begining i have kept the price the same , As i wanted to give the CBer and radio hams a good but cheep but reliable and quality product because i got fed up of buying.at the moment we are doing a change around in the workshop and so there have not been many on ebay but we will be back on track before Christmas and just to note i have the patent for all of them and a friend who is a barrister

not sure that was necessary .

he asked the question i answered

My ancient CB packed in about a year ago - I thought I wouldn't bother replacing it - but I now realise how much I miss it.

What's the options for a replacement these days?

I need something to use in UK and Europe, to contact the truckers on the motorways etc.
