I have my ham ticket, and I'd like to outfit my car with a CB to
monitor CB as well - if only to listen in, or possibly more. I'm big
on keeping things organized on my car, and have a detachable face
Icom
IC-208h with the head mounted where the ashtray was... and would like
to pull off something similar with a CB.

But, I can't seem to find a CB with a detachable face... the 79-290's
face detaches for theft protection, not to operate. So then I think
of
getting the 75-822, and letting it scan in some inconspicuous
location
with power from the car, and an antenna fed from the outside (all
part
of the 'vehicle adapter'). I like it, because it also offers
portability... but, now I've got no SSB.

So - is there a 'full featured' CB available? Anyone have something
to
reccommend (without flames)? If the detachable face isn't available,
what's a good CB with SSB and small size?

And, possible PA hookup and WX?

OK - YES, I realize that I'm asking for everything in one rig...
scan,
ssb, detachable face (or small size), PA, WX... but I'm going to keep
looking... Anyone have any suggestions on the closest to this if
there's not one with it all?

Thanks,

Richard


It's not a "CB" but "you know", it has no PA or Detachable face. BUT
the
Magnum 257 is killer, it has wonderful SSB performance, scan and the
other
features you need. Best of all it's basically a HTX-10, a wonderful
10M
transceiver. So if you have HF privileges and you do not transmit on
11M
then it would be ideal for you and possibly more economical since it
will
serve a dual purpose.

Yet he will own one anyway. Try to stop him.
