Cobra 75 All Road Mounting

[medrhunter]

Is anyone here running a Cobra 75 All Road CB (Blue Tooth model) mounted in a covered bed?
Any experience with this radio?

It sounds like a great space saver option.
I threw my phone in the bed, closed the diamond plate cover and had no trouble syncing to the truck.
Hoping for the same experience from the CB.

Quick Update: Mounted the CB in the bed on an aluminum plate. Used the existing threaded bed holes. Have a diamondback cover on. No issues connecting to blue tooth mic in the cab

Pics? I briefly looked at this radio, what is mounted in the bed and how did you power it? Antenna?

As I stated above, base is mounted in bed. Powered from Upfitter switches wire was run through the frame to the inside of the bed panel, Lil-Wil magnetic antenna.

Thanks, I was clear on a bed mount just wanted to see how you did it. I have a bit of dead space between the back of the bed and the retractable bed cover box where I could mount it and even an antenna, not concerned as much with distance in reception as I am with mounting clearance. I only have a 6.5' garage door.

Thats why I have a magnetic mount antenna. Just don't forget to take it off
