Ya know i went to radio shack and got this one and i love it itsd great, and everywhere i read, people say, ucan have an great expensive radio with bells and whistles but if u dont have a good antenna, and good coax cabel it wont work right. Get what u want but a 40 dollar cb is all u need spend the money on antenna and coax. my brother uses a firestick but wants my wilson instead, i actually get more range on my wilson.
so recap: 1) a cheap radio is fine as long as the antenna and coax are of high quality
2) where will u mount the radio and antenna (important to know b4 u buy)

If u have questions send me a PM i'll tery to help u with any info i can. I researched the hell out of CB's b4 i bought my gear.

Absolutely, we're here to help!

FWIW, I use the Cobra 75WXST. It's not the absolute best radio ever, but I can get pretty good range (5+ miles) and it doesn't take up any space either.

I bought a Midland 75-822 from Amazon:

It comes with two battery packs, one for rechargables and one for alkalines. You can slide the battery pack off to easily convert it to a vehicle powered handheld with remote antenna. While I hear the stock antenna is pretty bad, I've never had any problems with reception off-road. It's a well built unit.

This I like
