I'll have to find their address, but there's a big rig specialty shop in the Bull's Head section of Scranton. He does tuning and tweaking of CB's, too.

Awesome! I will definately go.
I bought that cobra 37" antenna you suggested fletcher. I would have picked up the bigger one but I couldn't find a price listed on the website and I knew I could get the other fast at radioshack.
Couple more questions. Can I run the wire through my door and onto the roof? And would I be better running power from the battery or through the lighter power jack?

I'll swing by the shop later since I can't remember the name of it. But, yes you can run the cable through the door and onto the roof that way, just make sure the wire isn't pinched too tight. The power can be run through the lighter power jack, but you will get more interference that way. If you hook it up to the battery, make sure to have a fuse in the line. If you really want to do it right and get the best performance, run it through the fuse box with the appropriate ampage fuse. I have my CB cable running through the door and powered through the outlet. It works just fine, but if the squelch is all of the way off I get interference when I go to roll down my windows or use the blower. You could always mount the antenna on the bumper. The mount cost me $1.50 IIRC from the big rig shop. Running a spring under the antenna might not be a bad idea, if it's a good quality one.
