Do you have a test light or voltmeter. I made a test light with a pin a light bulb and an alligator clip.

or just run a wire to the pos side of the batt, and ground to a bolt. Then you can use the power button on the radio or cb. It's a lot quicker and easier to that, then try and fish thru a gang of wires

you will probably find a few wires that are 'hot':
one should be hot continuously, one should be hot with the key on, and there may be one that is hot when the dash lights are on.
best thing is to buy a voltmeter (about 20-30 dollars) and figure which is which by probing.
