I have a RCI-2950 that i got out of my grandpa's shop. He took it out of his semi because it had to many buttons on it! haha. First i want to know is it worth messing with I was going to use it as a CB in my tow rig. I read that this radio was followed by the RCI-2950DX which was better. If it is worth messing with i need to know what antenna to put with it. I do not have the owners manual for refenece. Thanks!

thats a 10m rig and would need converted to run 11m (cb), its illegal on 11m but that dont seem to faze most people these days, any cb antenna will work after its modded for 11m
hard to beat a stainless 102" whip, but a tall antenna isn't always practical for everyone either. If your sprung on running it (great radio btw) , I wouldn't run it much past the 4 legal watts. Ive been pinched by the FCC for running a 10 m rig, as of late...alotta people seem to think they dont exist anymore. its your call, hard to get busted if your not abusing the wattage, just dont advertise what it is your running, if you get asked..just say its a cobra 29 w/ an m6b:redneck:

I have run the ranger 2950 for years in my hound hunting pickup and it works like a champ. As said above run a 102" whip and a good heavy duty spring and you are in business....
I never had to mod my radio and it worked great, even when I put my Texas Star 350 linear behind it!! :redneck:
