after reading through all your posts on CB being fitted and used,
I finally got my ass into gear today and found my Maycom EM27.
still in its box after 10 years I suppose, but there you go.
Maycom EM-27 80 Channel UK/EU CB Radio - YouTube
this is a short youtube vid on it by someone who knows this CB better than I do.
on looking on the net, it seems its a rig dead easy to modify into a 10 metre radio, or getting 400 stations, I kid you not.
Now my maycom sits between my left leg and centre consol quite happily with its speaker facing me.
Its a great rig, and I dont know why I never used it before ;(
all the cabling is hidden as is its power supply wired into ignition live.
fused link as per patch lead included all tucked away.
I`m using an old mini cab mag mount, and a short base coil loaded whip for now, but it unscrews so i can get under our hight restrictive car parks here.
(oh & car wash shhhh ) ..
with its standard screw threaded base fitting, most new bigger whips with the screw fittings will screw straight in as a replacement "soon"
