What antenna and mic should i get for my CB?
My friend recently gave me a cobra 29 LX, just the radio no mic or antenna, i am not familiar with cbs but i do know the mic and antenna are important, what are the best cheapest ones, and what about pre tuned antennas, do those actually work because i have no idea how to tune it

K40 antenna is good, but use high quality, low loss coax. You can't beat the Astatic powered microphones, but Mura makes a cheaper mic that performs as well. There is no pre-tuned antenna. The antenna and coax, along with the ground plane form the antenna. You need to install an antenna tuner to set the lowest swr.

If you get a Road King mic. and a Base loaded stainless steel antenna you'll have the best results. NOT A FIBERGLASS ONE. Just get 1 antenna and 18' of coax, wire the radio straight to the batty....... run pos. AND ground wires. Thats the cleanest power you can get, and you wont get any alternator noise OR INTERFERENCE.
IMPORTANT: Dont coil the excess coax, lay it out in long S's. on the floorboard and under the carpet.
Look on You Tube as far as tuning or setting the SWR's for the antenna. (if their not set, you wont transmit very far).
