I got a really good deal on a bearcat 980ssb cb radio. I plan on using my 4runner for most expedition/offroad trips but the wife will be getting a larger suv in the next year or so. On the not so offroad heavy trips we will use her new rig for the road trips
Is it easily feasible to run the cb radio into a cigarette lighter and run a magnet mount antenna such as wilson 1000 or lil wil and still get a decent swr and sound? Maybe i will have to wire a noise filter inline with the power cable to keep any interference out...?
I have not got into HAM yet but that is also in my future. Still need the CB for truck to truck in some of the offroad club trips as it is a requirement.
