If it doesn't "get it", simply chuck in a 100 Watt+ linear behind it,
it'll get it, that mag mount antenna isn't really great, if you go a
linear make sure it will handle the power (I have used the emergency
radio antennas with a 100 watt linear and gotten away with it--anything
more may damage the antenna or linear), a better antenna would help both
xmit and recv.

One thing. Go on ebay and check the prices on some CBs. Clearly, there is
still
a demand.

After reading all replies and comments I went to eBay and just won a 40
Channel Radio Shack emergency CB for $20 and it's on the way. Has mag base
antenna, connectors, like new. My handle is "Story Teller" - All I want is
something capable of line of sight on the highway. This should do it. Que
no?
