I run a bearcat 880 that i mounted in dash with dual 4' antennas.
I'm a truck drive by trade so i like to have one in my 4 wheeler as well.
I have not had any issues with it and it been in the truck for over a year now.
Do you get any feed back? I get some feed back on mine. It gets so bad when my HIDs are on, I have to trun my squelch almost all the way up. I can really hear anybody, when I can hear people I do a test but I never get a response. Any ideas???
Galaxy dx55v with a Wilson 1000 ..

Making a custom roof mount for it and going to use a Wilson 5000
Galaxy DX959 and 4' firestik antenna. mount is made from moddified bed cap clamps, antenna is grounded with the grounding strap inside the stake pocket. Works great, no interferance at all. (no HIDs).
Use the radio to keep in contact with friend on the way to the lake. etc.
Heres a link to the post I did right after I got everything installed. Mostly I use it for weather and traffic updates and sometimes I'll give out directions to people. New CB and Cooltech Antenna
I have a Cobra 29 LTD with bluetooth that I have used for several years but, I bought my Silverado with the full console and really didn't know where I was going to mount it. I really wanted a custom look, so I bought a Cobra 75 WX ST mic/radio.
Iv got a cobra 19 DX IV, ya know the cheap one from Wally world. I Had an older antenna that I rigged up in the bed so that it used one of the post holes and a piece of wood so i didnt drill into the bed but the top half of the antenna the screw rusted it because this antenna was from the 70's or 80's... so im planning on buying a firestik with a hood mount. when it worked i never had any problems with mine
jpcourtney;
want to do the same with my cb antenna. Where did you get the mount and do you have a pic or link that shows it? My magnet mount isn't as good as a whip would be.
