6 switches are for my 12 fog lights, 1 train horn, 1 receptacles, 1 for my hard drive camera setup and I recently added 2 more for my Efans in the event the controller goes bad.

Leo, I have the same two radios, the 19 in my GMC and the 75WX in the g/f's Dakota, and had a 1st Class FCC RT&T license for a lot of years, so I'm kind of uniquely qualified to give you opinions on both.

The 75 is a sweet little radio, and I love the weather channels on it (wish the 19 had them), but the sound quality and volume isn't that good. True, you can hook up an external speaker, but that kinda defeats the purpose of having a compact unit like that. Also, unlike the 19, you're stuck with the stock mic on it, since it's all integrated. Still, it's a good unit if all you want is a minimal CB capability.

The controls on the 75 are pretty straightforward, but it would be nice to have the RF Gain control that the 19 does. You'll probably miss that most of all.

The 19, on the other hand, is also a pretty sweet little unit, and with the addition of a power mic (I use an Astetic Road Devil mic) and a little tweaking can put out a very good signal, with excellent range from a good antenna setup.

I think you'll like the 75, at first, but eventually want to switch back to the 19, or upgrade to a 29 WX NW ST to get the benefit of the weather channels in a better unit.

 

[Bernie]

Oh, one more thing, with the 75WX you can't use most mic reels to tether the mic in easy reach and let it retract back when you're done. The unit is too heavy for many of them.
