cb radio supplys

[mopar]

i am looking for a place that might sell cb radio stuff locally (harford county) to put in my cb .... is there anything ? or do i need to order on line

[davenjeip]

Don't know about local, but I get all my stuff from www.buyreliant.com

They've always treated me well and shipped fast.

Truck stops are usually fairly well stocked on CB stuff, most even have a repair/install shop.

This one isn't local either, but the have a large selection:

Other than that, as stated, Truck Stops usually have most things. Should be able to pick up a radio pretty cheap at wallyworld, they used to carry the Cobra 19 which is what lots of folks use. If you want a stud mount cable you'll have to order it, never found any place that carried them on the shelf. If a PL-259 connector cable is what you're after they are easy to find local...i.e. truck stop.

guess i need to take a ride up 95 and check the truck stop in perryville ... anyone know if there is a shop up there

all i need is an antenna and the cable to hook it up

[mopar]

the pilot gas station/ truck stop at perryville has a nice selection of stuff ... not i gust have to get it all mounted

Love's up in lebanon before rausch creek is loaded with stuff.

Forget about radio shack. I went there today for a simple coax cable connection for the mount on my big truck and they have nothing to do with cb's anymore. Don't even carry an swr meter any more. I drove to the piolt to get the connector that I needed. There is a cb shop at the ta in elkton 109b but his hours vary and some days he just dosent come in. Same for the cb shop down at the ta at odonell street 57a. If you really want good service and high end parts wies communication in hanover pa is great.

i think the antenna and cheepo cable cost more then the radio i got .... i might have 75 bucks in the whole setup ..... i dont need nice stuff to talk to the guy in front of me on the trail

[Cowboy]

Might not have had one at that store, but they still sell SWR meters. Radio Shack ain't what it used to be though, that's for sure.

Yea pilot or the flyin j at the 100 in north east will have all that you will need. Flyin J has larger selection and is cleaner and better food.

DITTO - I got an antenna and mount there last week, they have a bunch of stuff. Prices aren't quite as ow as online, but you get to see it in person... big bonus if you'd looking for mounts etc and not positive what you need...

[Shane]

id like to find a place to do a decent install on the dodge. but the new trucks where in the hell do you put anything, theres no room.

[350jeepcj5]

cb world at the t/a in elkton area. kenny up there does a good job and knows his sh*t. i suggest calling first, google his number

[doctaco6]

any place close to Ft. Meade area?

[MPETE]

the T/A truck stop in jessup has a CB "shop" inside the hotel. if you walk into the hotel/restaurantand walk towards the trucker store, walk up the 3 or 4 steps and there is a hallway on your left and it is down that hallway.

[doctaco6]

Anyone know of a "CB Mechanic" or is anybody here a CB GURU that would like to help me out with my CB tuning? I just cant seem to get it to work. Poere in't the issue, but i cant tune it. Any ideas? Im right around the JEssup truckstop area if anybody wants to Link up.

[Shane]

whats the issue your having?

I just installed my setup on the dodge a few weeks ago and i can yell at people for miles. im running the midland 50001z and dual fiberglass anntena's on the bed. I want to find a decent speaker to mount under the hood so i can yell cockfag at idiots that cant drive.

This should be awesome and has great potential.

[85blazer]

theres a place in aberdeen or edgewood or joppa. its on route 40 on the left comming away from havre de grace

[doctaco6]

i just can't seem to tune this thing, cb grounded to a non painted surface, CHECK, antenna, 4' firestik fiberglass grounded to the frame as well, CHECK. no tuning techniques have worked so far. What else?

[Shane]

What is it doing? is it even working? does it light? explain your symptoms

[doctaco6]

so... here's the deal, it's on. I can hear other peoples conversations but everything is coming in scratchy, and i hear echos of everything. i cant transmit though. no one can seem to hear me when i transmit. haven't checked with another working CB though. the SWR reader on the face of the works and moves with each attempted transmission. Im grounding Both the antenna on 16G copper wire and im using the same type of wire to ground the antenna.

[Cowboy]

Have you done a continuity check on the cable, insuring no shorting between center conductor and shield too? PL-259 connector(s) soldered?
