CB Advice

Guy90:
Going to be installing my CB this week. I was told that I should wire it directly to the battery (I haven't got a cigarette lighter thing). Should I? It occurs to me that if you do this then you need to remeber you have got it on as leaving it on (say overnight) would flatten the battery pretty quickly.

Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks,

Guy

ChrisW:
Probably a good idea to have a permanent feed to it - mine keeps reverting to channel 9 every time i turn the ignition off and back on again. #-o  

Maybe wire it via an illuminated switch and inline fuses tho.

pritch:
Given the amount of current drawn by a CB on a quiet channel, I wouldn't worry about draining the battery anyway.

MUSKIE:
i dont leave mine in on days its not used, it would just get stolen and its only 2 thumb screws to take out. i put a quick release plug inline on mine.

POTASH:
ive fitted a cigarette type thing on the lead, then take it out of car at night.  easy peasy :wink:  :lol:
