Portable CB
Written by lcshepp on 7/21/2007 at 10:02 am

Hi Coasters,

Keith, Jim (Mortensen), Stacey and the others who responded: Thank you
for your input.

I ended up buying a Radio Shack CB. I've also ordered a Motocomm MC-751
(open helmet) setup. Peter Noeth is making me a cable with a PTT that I
can use with my GL helmet. I will install the Motocomm unit in one of
my flipups, most likely.

Although I have mounted a quarter wave (I think that's right) truck
antenna on my Reid Rack on the '89, I am going to try the rubber whip
antenna that came with the CB first. If that works well enough for
fairly close range use, I will leave the truck antenna at home and use
the luggage rack for my Nelson Rigg Roll Pack. I can get a good week's
worth of clothing in that little bag which will help next summer.

Stacey reminded me that he used such a portable setup on the PCH ride a
couple of years ago and he and Roy Coss were able to easily talk back
and forth.

Thanks again, everyone.

Leland
