thinking of getting a cb. was thinking either uniden or cobra. i dont need anything real crazy, but the more power the better right ;D anyway, any suggestions on mdels or other makes ?? thanks guys, scott <br><br><br>o yeah ill need an antenna,suggestions and antenna mount also cb mount

 

Here's one place to look<br>www.exportradios.com<br><br>It'll give you an idea about what's available.<br><br>The other is check your local Yellow pges for a CB/Electronics shop in your area.<br>(Not Radio Shack or Circuit City)

 

Never have been a CB'er but I am a ham. Power is OK but if you want performance get the best antenna you can afford. Then get it tuned with a SWR as close to zero as you can on the frequency you will be using the most. I prefer a roof mount as this gives me a good reflector etc. Make sure the feed line is properly gounded at BOTH ends. Use quality feedline and quality connectors.<br>As for types and brands, you will have to check with the CB'ers.<br>

 

I have a uniden CB and it has doen fine for me. It was the smaller vershion but I have found it to be very easy to place in my truck and it is easy to reach when I need to turin it on/off or use the mic.<br>DM01

 

Cobra is the choice of many truck drivers they make a good radio...I have a Cobra with weather band its very usefull when traveling...a power mic helps with moduation...its best to buy from a local cb shop Ive found if you buy from a local shop they will tune your SWR free

 

I have a Cobra right now, but my next radio will be a Galaxy. 8) 8)<br><br>Andrwe

 

Galaxy is the way to go.<br>I have one along with my Pops and we have had good luck with them. GET A GREAT antenna though. DO NOT spend all your money on just the radio.
