Anyways OP, you'll just need to find a nice antenna, I love the firestik. Make sure you run your cable in 3ft increments.

Ok thanks dude! I'll probably go up to my pilot flying J to get a good antenna. They got a cb radio shop in there. I'll probably go with the magnetic antenna like the one in the YouTube video.

Thank you bud! This really helped me out for understanding what you guys were talking about. I understood what you were saying in the video! Now I know if I get a advanced cb radio I know how to work it. Thank you so much for the video!! Also thanks for telling me about hooking it up for my truck!
