You won't find a CB for $30 at a truck stop. Well you can if its like a Midland model 1000. I have one of those radios.

I would buy at least a Cobra 25 or the Uniden equivalent. You can probably buy a Cobra 19 on sale for about that, but I wouldn't waste my money on one. (Now that I said that I will confess that yesterday I bought a Cobra 19, new in the box, for $20 at a local salvage store. Got a friend that wants a small sized CB and doesn't really care about max performance. With a good antenna it will serve his purpose.)
Big_m and freakhazerd Thank this. -

I bought a cobra 19 ultra today for 40 dollars plus a ten dollar mail in rebate. It works ok. For my purposes it seems fine.

I'll second what has been said a Cobra 25 IMO is a good starter radio as is a Uniden PC 68. That Cobra will work ok just it might pick up a lot of noise that you won't be able to rid of.

The Cobra 25 or Uniden 68 is what i would
get if it were me. If an amp is in the future
these are ideal radios. A hacked up export
or any radio without it's modulation limiter
ends up being a big waist of money if your
goal is being load and clean. -
