2018 F350 CB Antenna Front Bumper Mount

If you want more power, just get a 100-watt amp. That will work a whole lot better than so-called peaking a stock set.
And get a better mic. The stock mic is usually marginal.

This is true because you can't tune a stock radio to 100 watts..A power mike can also work wonders and last but not least is the antenna..Finding a tech to properly tune a radio that has the right equipment is tough..There's alot of so called tuners out there that can do more harm to your radio than good..

I have a hard time leaving anything stock when it's capable of more..These days I am into rooting cell phones and using high db boosters to get out where no one else can back in the hills..Same things apply on cell phones,not all cell radio's are created equal for reception but like a CB,it's just easier to hook it up to a high DB amplifier than mess with the internals...However,if you have the knowledge to mess with the internals,it can make a huge difference or if you don't,it can brick your phone beyond recovery and-make it an expensive paper weight.

Putting a CB antenna on a truck with a camper is tough if your looking for the best performance..While I have two Cobra CB's,I just haven't come up with the best way for me to have one in the truck and one in the TC..I guess it really doesn't matter since most talk in camp would be to my portable CB walkie talkies.

I have a Firestick fiberglass whip antenna that looks like Brad's but I am just not sure where to put it...Thinking hood mount on the passengers side if there is enough coax...My magnetic antenna on the roof with a metal plane worked very well but I kept knocking it off with tree branches and limbs and that's why I am going to do something like Brad,just not in the middle,one side or the other for my eyes.
