CB radios still a good option for the price December 31, 2007, 01:41:07 pm Yahoo Message Number: 87720" What should I look for to mate to that weird zigzag connector?" John; How about a CB radio. That connector is what connects to the back of a CB. Assuming the antenna is still up there on your roof, and working (a 2001 should be), why not just get the radio? A Cobra DX19 IV from Amazon.com is less than $50. That is the model that came with my LD. The hard part is putting in the antenna and power connections. Seems to me it would be easier to just reconnect the CB radio than try to come up with something different. You'll find it useful on the road, long after Mexico. Truckers on channel 19 can be very informative about road conditions ahead, and it's invaluable for caravanning with other motorhomes. I'll bet you spend more than $50 a month for your cell phone. CB's don't have a monthly fee or much upkeep costs.
