Seeing that we'll be putting 2800+ miles on the 914 a couple of weeks (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=278089) from now at, ahem, highway speeds and may need another form of entertainment besides the 500 watt Bluetooth amp. Has anyone mounted a CB antenna on a 914? If so, what worked for you?
I'm thinking I can fabricate a mount to bolt up to the threaded inserts under the factory "roll bar" meant for the accessory ski rack and easily run the wire inside from there. |

About 2 years ago I hooked a CB up in my SUV for a long trip. Basically discovered that these days they are pretty much useless. The only people who seem to use them any more are those with illegally hacked radios. Thus, instead of getting the local "smokey report" you are listening to static or some clown three states away. I do use it occasionally when "convoying" with other drivers on scouting trips.
I actually have an NOS Blaupunkt Koblenz CB radio sitting on the shelf. I was going to put it in the 914 as it looks period correct. Decided against doing so for two reasons. 1. Did not want to mount the antenna. 2. The Koblenz does not have channel 19 as it was never marketed in the USA. You could take it apart and change one of the crystals but they are soldered on so it did not seem worth the effort. |
