Im looking to get my first CB in a long time. I have used them in my
youth and presently but have no clue whats good and whats not. I know
I want one that uses SSB. I see good things about the uniden PC68XL
but it makes no mention as to whether its SSB or not. Is it safe to
assume all CBs use SSB transmision or no? Any recommendations?

Generally, if it doesn't say that the radio has SSB capability, it
most likely doesn't. Uniden makes some good radios in both styles; the
PC122 and PC244 were good and had sideband. Or go back a little
farther in time and get a good used Cobra 142 or 2000, or a Uniden
HR2510 all-mode.

More importantly, don't cheap-out on your antenna!
