Before I got the CB in my truck peaked and tuned I could transmit about 3-4 miles and recieve about 5-6 mile
After peaked and tuned and SRW's fixed I get outs about 7-8 miles and recieve about 10-12 miles
Surprised the living daylights out of me!!

When I had my original setup I could talk and recieve over 30 miles away. (no joke) REalistic CB-phone 23, (dad had it "tweaked" by a friend in the mid 70s) a good 5/8 wave antenna matched 1:1 to my car, and a good battery. That thing talked from Wabash, IN to ROchester, In. (look in the atlas they are both on the map and then look at the miles.)

I know what you mean. I listened for a long time
Speaking some weird language.
I figured if 2 of them were talking back and forth like that for a hour or so, it had to be true :P

Long time supporter... I just never put it up because I wanted Easy Money, or Ford... then I found that one, and I added G.O.B.L.IN and Easy Money to it also
