CB radios?

Back in the mid 70's, I used to work at Radio Shack part-time. This was one of those periods in time where CB's were a hot item. You just couldn't keep em' in stock it seems.

The firestick was mentioned above, how would dual antennas work as opposed to a single antenna as far as output and reception? I only say that since a truck appears to be in the future for Smokey

Problem with duals on a pickup truck is that the mirrors now days are plastic/composite which creates grounding problems and the spread is not normally wide enough for a good tune.

Well, that makes sense. Gone are the days of metal...
