Unidens are good, older non chineese cobra's.
Midland has a ssb unit with removable faceplate, scan...
The Midland is the only smaller/recent/full-feature ssb unit I
know of. The only other small ssb, that might be comparable
to the size of the am-only unit you might have had before is
the Uniden PC-122 xlr. Someone else here might know if there's
anything smaller to fit a modern car by Ranger/Galaxcy etc.

Personally the Midland peaks my interest. Actually for my car
I've got a dirt cheap mini am-only hooked up to a 5ft Francis whip.
and a "Ham" 2 meter rig. Now if you are looking for a CB for your
house the sky is the limit... I'd go for a large mobile type rig
like a President or a large Uniden or Cobra, etc.... or maybie
just the Midland with all its features and an external speaker.

Glad you didn't ask about antenna's, that would be a whole other
subject Basically you want to either drill a hole in your car
or use a trunk-lip mount, with an unloaded whip, bigger being better.
For the house there are many options, I've got a full wave loop hung
around a wall indoors here, due to restrictions. One or 2 of these
outside would be great if I could-- one oriented N-S and one E-W...
The ultimate is a rotatable beam up in the air. Never had one but
have talked on one.......... . . . . . . . . . . .
