My Uniden with the same setup was picking up 10-15 miles from truckers here in the flatlands. I didn't broadcast, but I'd guess it to be enough for trail riding

I use it on mine too. It is a Firestik mount. You can get it at a lot of CB places, I got my set up from www.cbworld.com. The prices seemed pretty good. I have a cobra 18WXSTII, firestik wire and mount, and firestik II 4' in red. Just a recommendation, if you don't want your KJ to look like a remote control car, go with a 3'. I have the matchmaker to make the CB antenna the radio antenna too. Need to fine tune it better before I make any judgements on it. Out of the box though, that set up was perfect, no tuning needed on the antenna. |

No leaking at all. My friend that took care of that part of the install just ran it behind the weather stripping and then behind the plastic so it came out where the seats meet the plastic on the right side. Other than that, my set up looks a lot like the link from the first post. I'd post a pic, but I don;t have the time right now, maybe tomorrow I can get some pics up of my whole set up. |

Go to Firestik.com and get it directly from them. I have one that I painted up and mounted between the taillight and the body. I will post a pic up later when I get home, |
