So, i have a CB in my campervan, or rather did have a CB in my campervan until some scroat stole it last night!! Totally opportunist, because i am a fool and left the aerial on the van and the rig in full view just under the dash. They didn't take any of the tools that were scattered about the back of the van, or the cans of cider (coz i'm proper clarssy, innit), or indeed the dancing Elvis suckered to the front windscreen. Gits.
So, the set-up i had was the Intek M-790, with an Orbiter 1.55m on a gutter mount. I bought it from here just over a year ago, after speaking to someone on the phone - I guess that was Andy? I can tell you that whoever it was was very helpful, and even gave me the Internet price even though i'd rung up on the phone and asked *loads* of questions and ordered it on the phone whilst i was about it.
So, is that set-up the best i could have? My budget is about £100, so it fits into that neatly, and it fits in my campervan nicely. Although obviously i'll remember to take it out of the van when it's parked up for a few days outside the house.... I mostly use it for listening rather than talking, and almost always when i'm stuck in traffic on the motorway. Turn on the CB and voila!!, you get the gen on the hold-up from the truckers talking to each other. I guess as and when i buy a replacement, now i'm on here i'll use it a bit more to talk rather than just earwigging, as it seems rather a shame to use it just as a traffic alert device!!
So, my handle on the airwaves is Big Bernie. Any suggestions as to how i could better the set-up mentioned above would be gratefully received, even if it's just to tell me that i don't need to look any further than the kit i've mentioned
Cheers all
