Handheld CB

[DeezJT]

I’m not planning on putting a dedicated cb on this Jeep so I would need recommendations for a handheld unit that I can take on offroad Jeep trips.

The Midland 75-822 can be a handheld with battery pack and short antenna or mobile with power supply and external antenna. For mobile use I would strongly suggest an external antenna, the short handheld CB antenna is pretty useless especially from inside a vehicle.

@prerunner1982 what length antenna do u recommend for in-vehicle use? Ideally over 1 mile range as my group doesn’t venture off too far from one another.

@DeezJT a 2-3" antenna may be ok for short range though I prefer longer antennas that better clear the roofline of the vehicle, are easier to tune, and perform better. You can put a quick disconnect on it so that you can easily remove it when not in use.
