[MENTION=143483]dade73[/MENTION] - How do you like the CMX760? Worth the change or just another CB? Any cool features or complaints on the unit?
Thanks for the link to your build. Using RJ45 & Cat7 cables does make it a lot easier and simpler.
Its just another CB. However here are the Pros and Cons I have found:
Pros:
Small head unit (so I can place it anywhere)
Display on the Mic
The push buttons on the mic are less likely to be accidently hit compared to the Cobra.
The CMX760 model has NOAA alerts and monitor options the previous model didn't have. A huge selling point for me. living in the mid Atlantic region weather conditions change hourly.
Yes you customize the display color a little bit but not a selling point for me.
Cons:
No internal speaker. Its all in the Mic. It does have an options to plug in an external speaker though
No PA option, (not a selling point that I considered)
Honestly if you are happy with the CB you have now, no real need to change unless its over 10 years old. Or if you want to clean up you drivers area some, or just upgrade your equipment. if you are upgrading you may want to look at adding a GMRS if you haven't yet.
Cat6 will work just as well. I didn't test Cat6 or Cat5e for the 15' runs to the rear. So I am not sure how much feed back you will pick up if you decide to do that.
