RW> How about a little (<-- key word LITTLE, I don't want

 RW> on a good CB?  Either brand or one model in particular.
    My "mobile command post" :) has a cobra 31+, 6 channels that can be 
preset  like your am/fm radio, and weather reception.  It is about the size 
of a PRO-2026 scanner.  Simple to use, good quality sound and just an all 
around good radio.

 RW> antenna (trying for topic again, Bill ) on the
    
   I have a K-40 Mag mount hooked up to the cb, it sits in the middle of the 
cab of the pickup and a 2m/440 larsen on the left side and a commercial 
larsen 150/450 on the right side (scanner and commercial ht when a little 
'extra' is needed.

   Maybe, but even my AM/FM radio doesn't pick up the CB thru the speakers...
just be careful about where you run the coax to keep bleedover problems down.
   Keying the CB will do strange intermod things with the 2006 that is 
sitting on top of the CB, but when your talking it doesn't really make that 
much difference.
   I'm trying to stay on topic by helping you add into your scanner listening 
post   :)
