Search is case sensitive. Using the radio Joel listed, I get a price of $187.33 w/ a 4' FireStik II antenna before any discount.

Not sure how they compare to Walcott.

Hope that helps.

I bought only the good stuff, made by Firestik etc. So the parts should be the exact same.

You can get cheaper stainless springs, connectors, cables, etc, but I don't recommend it. Not with a CB...

As for the search, I know they are currently revamping the site and adding over 400 products, so you may have to use the side bar to navigate and find what you need. The part numbers are in the titles though...

Ohh! I had a spare antenna so I didn't buy one. You need one of those too! This list is set up for a Firestik or compatible.

Here I am trying to help you out by freeing up some time so you can get back to the mill to finish my handles and what do I find? Slacking! Git back there!

Hehehe. Your handles are finished. But they are kind of ugly... they looked better on my computer screen. I am waiting to get a Fourtreks mount in to make sure they work before I send them your way. I'll take some pics when the mount arrives if it works. If it doesn't, a friend who initially hinted to me that the are definitely a function over form type of item (aka ugly), suggested I just make you some clamps that fit my current handle design. And there came the big "DUH." I sometimes fail to see the simple solutions...

Either one is fine

I am completely a fan of form follows fit follows function (try saying that 10 times fast) so it is not a problem.

BTW, I might have forgotten to mention, one of the reasons for the round handles was so that I could mount the FourTreks in almost an angle to take advantage of the other parts I will be getting to complete this.

Is it just me or are their shipping charges really high??

50 bucks for everything listed?

My bad I was looking at USPS charges

UPS wasn't much better, for me. I went with USPS, as they were cheaper. But, yeah, I think they make a little on shipping, too...
