you can get a decent cb for round 100$ at the truckstops. the cobra 29 limited edition is 99$ right now. here is pilots cb on sale now...http://www.pilottravelcenters.com/I.../Travel_Centers/Store/Large/Current_Flyer.pdf...

Why bother, much more enjoyable to listen to tunes...

Thanks for the info, so the 29 is a pretty good radio? same with the wilson 5000?
-
the 29 is just a basic popular radio that is quite popular and does the job.....

Im pretty new to cb's i have one in my pick up but its the el cheapo midland, with a hustler mag mount...What are some specs to look for while shopping? im looking to spend btween 100-maybe200 bucks.what is a good amount of watts and whats just overkill?etc. thanks guys
-
also what are the laws for stuff i need to look out for if i buy a used radio? i dont want to have anything im not supposed to i seen some radios on ebay that say 32 watts is for the max allowed? what else do i need to look out for?

unless your looking to over talk every other trucker out there and become a super trucker a cobra 25/29 will be good enough.....

Thank you, i am defintly not looking to talk over anyone or be a super trucker, i am actually a quiet guy, i mainly just want to be able to listen a good distance, so i take it all ill need for that is a cobra 29 and a wilson ant.? thank you very much for you help!

most company trucks already have the basic antenna and you can upgrade really easy. i don't carry a cb right now but when i did i just used it when i was at shippers/recievers.
