I've just recently started in CB radio. My first radio was an old
Cobra 29 that bit the dust a couple of weeks ago (beyond repair.. long
story). So I'm in the market for a new CB. Money is tight, and I am
wanting to spend the majority of it on a good antenna (thinking a
Wilson 1000). That leaves me with a budget that can only handle the
smaller, cheeper CBs like the Cobra 19DX or the Midland 1001Z.

My question is if these small CBs are even worth it. Are they? I'm
only interested in bare-foot operation while on the road (no SSB) to
keep in touch with other drivers. Will theese serve that duty well?

Thanks in advance,
Jeramy
