    Thanks for the offer, Gav, but I think I'll be OK. I made a similar bracket for the P38A and poked it out the grille, too. That was, in a way, a mistake. If I ever needed to remove the grille, I had to unsolder the aerial cable from the aerial.

    I'm looking for ways/places to mount the new 80ch UHF CB and my 2 metre/70cm detachable head amateur radio transceiver. So I need to make up 2 antenna mounts.

    Hey Gav, how do you rate this radio? It's now 4 years on and they're still selling the same unit for $190 which is a good price, $40-$50 cheaper than similar units with the speaker in the hand piece.

    Speaking of which, is the speaker loud enough?

    Cheers

    Can we lobby the car manufacturers and ask they provide at least two antennae mounts in the design?

    Hi mate, sorry, I missed this before. I've put this CB in the RRC now, and not that it gets a lot of use, it is a great radio. Used it plenty in the L322 - clear and loud, no dramas. There is a headphone jack on the base unit if you wanted to put a remote speaker, but in my opinion, it isn't needed. The speaker in the hand piece is quite loud enough.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Thanks mate. I ended up with the 8080s which is very similar so good to know. I got a speaker just in case we can't hear anything on corrugations will plug it in(they're only 30 bucks) now the fun job of mounting 3 switches a traxide controller and a radio... bound to butcher something.
