i need an antenna and coaxle cable let me know what you want for it

These are what I would consider consumables, and as such would look for new items, they're not too spendy. And stick with a wire antenna, it'll live longer!

i was thinkin maybe someone had a new one they never used or somethin

From a post on TC

from past experiance of myself and others (jim ) Stay away from fiberglass! It likes to EXPLODE! You can bend a wire antenna back, if you bent it at all.

My personal favorite is a Radio Shack Model: 21-988
SS base loaded CB antenna. I've had mine on the last two jeeps for 5-6 years. Befrore that it was the 102" whip, but got tired of dragging that thing thru the woods! This is damn close in performane, and much more compact (realtive term) you can flog whips all day long, where fiberglass will crack.

102" whips aren't a good idea in the mountains. With and 8 foot reach in any direction, they live up to there name, "whip" around and hit anything within that 8 foot radius.

If you looking for a mag mount, I've had good luck with the Little Wils. About a 30" steel base loaded antenna. You can get them at the CB store in Pasco off Oregon and Lewis (don't remember the name).
