Reviews
size matters
"recently bought this with my citizen band radio after realizing that it didnt come with its own in the box then i looked at the local truck stop just to find out that they were typically 20- 40 dollars more for the same size! i just hope that it will be able to perform just the same or better for being cheaper. the installation was really easy and wiring up took an pinch of common sense and I was good to go."
Excellent
"Quick shipping and nice looking radio"
Better than the 18"
"I bought a small CB to have in traffic issues and with the 18" I couldn't get any clear reception. I bought the 42" and the first one came and was damaged by shipper. I can get reception now. Just have to be conscious of the height when attached. Stores easily in the back seat."
