What did the CB radio and antenna cost you? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
CB = ~85 at amazon.com
Antenna,coax,mount,foldover + swr meter and patch coax = ~90 at walcottcb.com
Not the cheapest I could probably do, but easy.
BTW, with this radio the antenna was a little bit electrically short, so I had to turn out the tuning knob about a turn and a half. My final SWRs with the antenna up were:
