    Ok just as it says, I am looking for a reputable and honest cb shop to purchase a new 10 meter radio that will be loud and proud. I currently am running a general lee that was tuned by mesa cb in wildwood. I am just wanting to switch to something different. I would like to get one w/ a built in amplifier. I have been debating on getting a galaxy 48t from radioactive radio or a rci 2970 idk there are so many radios out there to choose from and even more radio shops....I am just tired off getting burned by cb shops. Any help or advice on a shop and radio will be greatly appreciated. Just want a LOUD talker. Oh yeah if I could find one nearby that would be great as well. I live near Pt. Huron, MI

    Thanks.

    P.S I dont want to spend more than $400

    Sparkys is top notch. I own several of his radios and they are all great. Just give Al a call and he will help you decide what's best for your setup. He'll even under sell you instead of trying to sell you some BS that you don't need or want.


    Whatever you do DO NOT buy one from Radioactive!

    Hummmmm ..... Not being Gadfly picky I'll bring up a how to you define point ....

    We hear all this talk about " 10 METER RADIOS " but realy IS a 10 meter radio ?
    Now there are some the Radio shack HTX-10 IS a 10 meter radio you cannot modify it to go on CB. NOW you can modify a IC-706 but it is a ALLBAND set which covers 10 meters.

    The so called export sets problem is not that they go on CB but they stay on 10 meter too ......

    Here is a list of the better know ones ........

    My bet is if they didn't wind up on the ham bands no one would care even the FCC.
