Try to find someone with a CB and test it out. That will determine if u really need the meter. As for my i bought the cheapest CB and antenna.. and it works great. Even on the highway.

well I bought this antenna at a truck stop i think.. its a magnetic base, its mounted on the passenger side cowl.. it looks clean and stock... the wire runs under the windowshield bracket and into the jeep.. I'll see if I can go take a pic of it for you right know. Give me like 5 min.

ok so I hope this worked. Sorry but its snowing here, and its pretty dark.. but I tried my best. The wire doesnt stick out that much i just pulled it a bit to show you.. i usually have it flush with the mount. I'm happy with it. antenna was like $60
