Are there any companies that make handheld cb's with the long telescoping antennas anymore?
I once had (ten years ago)a Midland 40 CH. that had a telescoping antenna that was well over 3 feet long when extended. This is no exageration,... a friend of mine was talking on it while down on the river and I was in my mobile approx. 5 miles away, and he came in clear loud and clear.
For a handheld, I was impressed. I have looked and can not find anything close to it.

copper sells a 20 inch long wip for 27-29 mhz for the spitfire 454. I have one on mine in fact i cut it to bring it up to 29.6 mhz and it workd much better that a rubber ducky. also radio shack sold one too it might still be in there catalog. As for 5 miles on a ht ........ WELL i worked costa-rica from seminole fl ( tampabay) om mine from the frount lawn! |
