After getting distracted for a while...today I decided to try opening up the coil base on the W1000 and see if I could find anything wrong.

I couldn't but the plastic cover didn't survive the experience. (As a friend pointed out, I still have exactly the same number- zero- of working CB antennas...so it's no great loss.)


Depending on how lazy and or cheap I'm feeling...I'll either stick a Lil'Wil I've got kicking around on the truck and move on with life...or order a new CB for the car, and a fender-mount FG antenna kit.

(I'll buy parts to install a 3' FG on the Ranger fender, although there's a slim chance, if the parts line up and look right, that'll actually end up on the hatch of my Mazda 3, and the Lil'Wil will still end up on the Ranger.


The Ranger is semi-retired from road trips these days, anyway- not that I wouldn't drive it California...but it's driveway-buddy has 110k fewer miles and burns half as much gas.
