Not familiar with any cb buyers guide off hand,,,,try google or post
what you are looking for in a unit. SSB or strict AM? Listening to the
truckers for road conditions and the like, or are you looking to talk?
My neighbor drives across state for a commerical delivery service in a
panel truck and I just set him up with a walkie-talkie and foot-high mag
mount,,,,all he's interested in is hearing where the cops are so he can
hammer down,....this set-up works works perfectly for him.

Thanks for the reply. I'm just a little befuddled by all the features (ie
23 channel vs. 40 channel) and whatnot. I'd definitely want to talk, since
I figure that's part of the "keep a guy awake on long trips" side of things.
I don't want to drop a ton of dough, just in case it's not for me, you know?
What's the advantage to single side band?

So I guess I'm looking for an inexpensive unit that covers the basics well
and is good for a beginner.
