[QUOTE="fwb_1234, post: 5449240, member: 573700"] I've been wanting to buy and install a CB radio so I can hear the truckers while I'm on the road, just so I can do something to pass the time. So, I don't need 20 miles of reception and transmission range. My concerns are these: I want to buy the antenna listed below which is "magnetic mount" which I would then mount to the top of my Mazda 6. How exactly is this done. The only pictures I have seen of this antenna mounted are clean. No wires go back into the car, which suggests that they drilled a hole in the car. I don't want to do that. Of course I only saw it installed on a replica car, so they may just have cut off the wire. Even if I don't have to drill a hole, I'm worried that they wire is going to be too thick to run around some of the hidy-places in my car. Also, it might be ugly on top.
