Im buying a CB for the XJ. Im mounting it between the sunvisors so my space is limited. The biggest I can go is 7" wide, 2" high and 6.5" deep. Ive pretty much got it narrowed down to the Cobra 18 WXST II, Ranger TR121CP, Midland 77-104XL or Uniden 510 XL.
The Cobra is the biggest of the bunch and is as big as I want to go. Its also $10-$20 more than the others but offers Weather bands. Ive used the weather band maybe once or twice on my other CBs so Im not sure its worth $10 more just for that. The Uniden is the smallest and least expensive but Ive heard decent things about Uniden.
Anyone have thoughts or experiences with these radios they would like to share.
I did have a Cobra 18 years ago and it only lasted for about a year before it stopped tuning. I didnt set the SWRs on it though so it may have been due to that. So, not a great experience with the cobra but Im willing to try again if other can recommend it.
