Where in Grand Rapids area is there a place to buy cb radio accesaries. Power Unlimited was great but not in business anymore, Radio Schack says they don't carry them anymore. Looking to replace the mic on mine.

Used to be a shop in the strip mall with blockbuster at 54th and division. Otherwise 76th street truck stop is probably about it.

P.S. Watch for lot lizards! :thumb:

If you get to Holland I believe Rock Island truck stop south on M40 right off I-196 has a fair amount.

Finally made it out to the 131 CB shop, Bear really knows what he is doing, he did a great job for me about 6 years ago on my 29LTD Classic. This time he got me set up with new mic and antenna, and went the extra mile to make sure everything setup and matched. Hard shop to find but worth stopping by, I highly recommend anybody looking for CB equipment to stop by and talk to him.

Bumping this thread for a great experience with this place.

I have delt with Darrin (Bear) a few times in the past and have always been happy.

This time I had an issue with high SWR readings that I couldnt track down. He found the problem in about 3 minutes and had me tuned and out the door.

Really nice guy to deal with.
