Looking For Decent Quality Handheld CB
 

I am looking for a reference for a mid line or slightly better
quality handleld CB. I just want to be able to keep in touch with
another vehicle that we will be traveling with. I have a mobile unit in
my vehicle but need a handheld for the other car. It would be preferable
to have the capability to attach a magmount antenna and a jack to power
it from the cigarette lighter. I imagine I could buy a toy
for pretty cheap but do not want a piece of junk. Just a guess but I am
hoping to get what I want for between $50 - $100.
I'm looking for a reccomendation for a make and model and also a
retailer where I could get a radio as soon as possible. An e-mail would
be great but you can also just post any info here. Thanks all.

I am curious if a pair of GMRS would serve the purpose just as well
or even better than the CB radios. What is a good brand of GMRS radios
to buy and what would the range of a good quality set of GMRS radios be
under good conditions (good line of sight) ? Thanks for any info. and
help.

Forget handhelds at 11 meters (horrible HORRIBLE antenna effencey), for go
GMRS.

FORGET GMRS or ANY handhelds in a CAR ! Get a PRO-510 Uniden CB with a 3'
magnet mount CB antenna. This way you can talk to each other, AS WELL AS
get ROAD information (talking to the Truckers) that NONE of the ANTI-CB
posts didn't mention to you!

What I want to KNOW is WHERE in the world did you ever get the idea to use a
hand held CB in a car? Hand held means WALKING around with it OUTSIDE a
vehicle! Mobiles are for cars, Base Stations are for houses, and HAND
HELDS are for walkers or runners ! DON'T MIX them up !
I guess that's WHY I've been a CB shop for over 24
years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What do you call your CB shop, Daves Walmart? You already admitted
