When you select a CB radio, is there any thing you should be looking
out for? I know that some people just chat with CBs that are not
businesses. Can any CB radio really do, or do you need something
special? I am just getting into CB radio, I am not an expert, so I do
not want to pay $500 for a radio, that I may not use much, because
there is barely to no CB activity where I live, I would have to
travel. Do they make portable CB radios?

Is the MIDLAND 75-785 7-Watt/40-Channel Portable CB Radio a good one?
When I searched for portables, I found this one on tons of websites.
Also, it's one of the easiest for me to get.

First find out why you need a CB, is it for the road so you can here the
reports, or just rig chewing. CB is OK but why waste time in it, go for the
real radio world, Ham radio with much better audio quality and allot more
choices in bands.

That's what I thought but I figured I would ask anyway. Ham has to be
licensed no? Is it the same cost anywhere in the US?- Hide quoted text -

I spoke too soon when I said cb channel 19 was civilized. After
further listening, just tonight I heard a couple of cb'ers aarguing
with each other with the one really swearing at the other one.

Just because the one guy didn't like the subject matter that the other
guy was talking to someone else about.

From your posts, I think you'll enjoy listening to cb channel 19.

And the fast food restaurants channels on your scanner and the other
channels omn your scanner when you get your cb and your scanner.

I think you'll have fun with them.
