I chose the Uniden Bearcat PC78LTW CB Radio because of it's unique ability to filter out the engine noise of the Range Rover. I paired it with the Wilson 1000 roof mount antenna. |

Where it all began. The antenna is mounted directly over the rear dome light. |

The Wilson 1000 antenna, very cleanly installed on a perfect ground plane. The Wilson Antenna has taken quite a beating from tree branches, parking garages and more in that time. I'm happy to say, it works as good as ever, the mount is in perfect condition and now protected by the roof rack. |

The first mounting place of choice and convenience. The before picture. |

A masterpiece in progress and a death sentence for the center console. |
|
| Almost done! |

Over time I found that this was a bad location for the CB. With the rear seats folded forward they pressed up against the CB and thus I've broken the rear panel of the console. Over time the rest of the console broke in other locations and has now been completely removed. The CB is now mounted facing forward behind the sunroof. It's a far improvement over the console location and there is even a support bracket in the roof panel to mount to so I did not have to drill through the roof itself. The only quirk with this location for me is that when I drive at night and flip the mirror to reduce headlight glare from the rear I can see the CB in the mirror. | |
