I did have a bag phone in the truck for emergencies, but I got tired of the monthly bill. I want to buy a Galaxy DX 2547 to use as a home base unit (to call the wife if needed). I would be using the SSB mode. What kind of antenna would I need for this radio? Would I place it on top of my house? OK, I know I need a radio in the truck that has SSB also, what brand do you suggest? What about an antenna? I live in Northern Wisconsin and the terrain is a bit hilly. Thank you for your time...buddyboat   Bruce Senior Member Username: Bruce Post Number: 3381 Registered: 9-2003 Posted on Friday, January 06, 2006 - 1:03 pm:        As for base antennas ....low priced base antennas TOP-ONE mid priced Copper sells several 5/8 wave base antennas all work well. On the Car ..... I own and use a HAM stick 5 foot and fine most 5 foot or longer car antennas trunk mounted work well and copper has several in the 5-7 foot lengh they should work just fine. Best radios there are several and at some point i owned most of them BEST all around CB set is a GRANT LT but they are hard to find. Now 2 ive owned can still be bought are .. 1)Best leagal CB radio galaxy 959 2) Best export a mag-257. Just my opinion Bruce
