Hey folks, I have 4 CB's to choose from. The use is going to be for trail and some city, mostly trail though. My options are:
Cobra 19dx IV
Uniden pro 520XL
Cobra 75wx st
Uniden Bearcat 880
Features I do like are scan and the weather channel, but I also like the size of the first two which technically leaves me with the 75wx as the middle ground. So with an external speaker installed with that I should be happy.... I guess I'm looking at some feedback on the thought process.
Thanks in advance

Between the first 3, I would take the Uniden 520XL hands down...The 4th radio, the Uniden 880 however would be the best-bet, being a full size, full fetcher radio. Down-side would be possibly it's size is a little bigger and may not fit your needs...you didn't say what this was going in...
First 3 radios don't have as good channel rejection either as the 880 will have, meaning other operators close to you on a different channel will tend to bleed over on the channel your on a little easier...
The first two, I have, and the 520 blows the Cobra 19 clear out of the water. The down side to the Cobra 75 is your stuck with the factory Mic, and if anything happens to it (like you drop it) the radio is done...
Another option I've herd nothing but good out of, is a New radio now being sold in the State's is the Anytone Smart CB. It's a 10 Meter radio that is easily converted for 11 Meter, and costs about the same as the Uniden 520 and Cobra 19's...very good reviews.rabbiporkchop Thanks this. -
Anytone Smart CB is 4.1"W, 4.3"D, 1" H...ruffly the size of a deck of playing cards!rabbiporkchop and bored silly Thank this. -

Sorry I didn't mention that I actually own all 4 just need one for my jeep and like the scan option as well as the weather one. The size is great on the 520 though, I heard the 520 is a really good cb but the 880 has more features, i guess it boils down to what will fit.
You guys are great thanks for the comments!!! -
Just wanted to point out something, it isn't a 10 meter radio, it is a CB. Just get a CB because the advantage of a 10 meter radio is lost thought the lack of good engineering practices,
