when i was getting everything together for va. beach i had the wife go to radio shack and grab me a c.b., she paid $100 for the same c.b. they sell at wal-mart for $80 <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />but we were in a hurry. wal-mart also sells a $40 cheapie that works really well, we used to have one in the wives cherokee with one of them sticky glass mount antennas,still had decent range(several miles) which isn't bad for glass mount antenna. i'll give you a call in the next day or so (i have sprint-no long distance charges) or you can give me a call at 413-824-8831, i'm up from 6a.m. tomidnight or later so you really don't have to worry about disturbing anyone. from springfield to greenfield it's about 35-40 minutes,keene another 1/2 hour peterborough looks to be about 1/2 hour -45 mins. from keene,traffic souldn't be too bad it's not foliage season yet
