Cb?

Ok I'll let you slide just the one time ...lol

I've always wanted a CB but never could figure out how to use one without a big antenna. I park my truck in the garage with a 8ft door and my truck is one of those that wouldn't look good with an antenna.

If antenna height is your main concern you could always go the deflection route. I set my nephews truck up with an antenna that does not stick up above the roof line. Of course it's hard mounted and some guys aren't hip on screw holes, but it works. You can get antennas as short as 3' that have tunable tips for getting the SWR in the sweet spot, or you can visit your favorite local truck stop (the mall as we call it in some parts of Texas) and get a bargain basement "pre-tuned" antenna that the internals are wound for a favorable SWR ratio on channel 19, from experience they're scary high when your channels are in the basement and acceptable in some of the higher channels. Build a nice ground system for it and the chassis becomes part of the antenna, and the radio waves deflect off the sheet metal on the roof and you'll be a member of the rollin' radio show. One of the best parts is, if you don't like the looks of it all it takes is a 1/2" wrench to remove the mast, you can go from breaker breaker to stealth mode in 45 seconds.
