Jolly_John Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I know a lot of the guys use CB radios when touring. So, I thought I'd offer this cable here.First off, let me state that this is enough coaxial cable (50') here to do two rear bumper mount CB antenna installations...and maybe three.I have an as-new condition, 50' RG58U cable, with connectors mounted at each end, for sale. Great for CB rear bumper antenna set-ups. Berk-Tek brand, has low loss foam core. High quality 95% shield, 50 ohm impedance. Factory-installed connectors at both ends. Cut to your desired length, and then install a connector from Radio Shack on one end, as needed.The price for the 50' cable, as pictured, is just $30, INCLUDING shipping anywhere in the U.S. Please post here, if you're interested in buying this item. Thanks for looking. John Edited January 17, 2012 by Jolly_John (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Like so many other things, the cellphone killed CB radios, at least in old car touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm sure something motivated you to post your comment on this "for sale" forum post, Dave. I'm sure you must have been trying to be helpful, and not negative.However, you obviously haven't participated in a Buick Driving Enthusiasts (BDE) old car tour. This division of the Buick Club of America holds two national driving tours annually. About 60 Buicks typically participate in each tour. A CB radio is a MANDATORY item for all tour participants. The CB allows all cars in the touring groups to simultaneously communicate with each other....something that can't be done efficiently via cell phone. Plus, the CB radio conversation interchange is quite entertaining on these tours. But, I guess you would have to be there to understand, Dave.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Sometimes that little voice in your head should be listened to. I knew I shouldn't have posted that comment but I did. I hope you sell your cable and have many successful CB tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly_John Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Thanks for the cordial reply, Dave. I apologize for "jumping" on you! I think I was having a bad day at my end....my wife had suggested I get out of my heated workshop and go shovel the snow!! Best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
