CB's are a must around here in the mountains..If you can't follow the logging trucks where-abouts,your likely to be in the ditch or side swiped.
My last TC I had the antenna on the TC roof with a magnetic antenna with a good metal plain glued to the roof...It was always getting knocked off from tree branches..I spent more time putting it back than it was worth..
I have two 40 channel walkie talkies I use when camped and I am temporarily using one in the truck cab until I can find the best place to mount an external antenna..They get out better than the hand held two ways most of the time.
I'm just not sure where I want to mount one where the wind won't push it into the metal of the truck or TC when driving...I used to be into CB's heavily working back in the mountains and used high wattage linears to boost the signal to get out..
