Default Selecting a CB Radio

If you want to start out with a good CB radio but not spend a fortune I
would recommend that you start with a cobra 148 GTL which has SSB and AM.
If you use it in the house you will, of course, need a 13.8 VDC power supply
and an Antron 99 base antenna.



I'd rather use an Imax 2000.


In the mobile it works good with a Wilson
1000 magnet mount antenna if you can't stand the idea of drilling any holes
in your vehicle roof. You would be well advised also to get a good mic for
it, such as a handheld D-104.


Why amplified? A 636L is nice and clean, and never needs batteries.
