Best CB radio brand?

cobra if you just wanna talk a little and hear and not ever buy another or work on it super tough 29 classic hard to beat i love my galaxy dx 66v just gotta get her worked on every other year seems like

 

Can't go wrong with a Cobra 29 LTD Classic.

 

Best does not mean highest paid or most watts. It means most suited to your needs and desires. Stated specs I can live with without feeling too cramped

 

I replaced my Galaxy 44 with this last year.



Kind of fun you can change the colors or have it rotate through colors and pretty decent radio too ! Just remember 75% of your "power" is your antenna. In other words any cb with good co-ax and good antenna is gonna talk over a super duper radio with worn out coax, mismatched antennas, etc... I see guys all the time buying super radios or getting their cobras "peaked and tuned" and then plugging them into 6 year old stock coax with 3 foot whips or something. Not gonna get out.

 

It's a good thing I interrupted this sentence.It would have run forever!

 

What is the popular use fo that iron today gents? Certainly not for it's intended purpose?

 

Is it best to buy a cb radio new and get it peaked and tuned, or is it best to buy a used one with all of the upgrades already. I seen a Cobra 29 LTD Classic with upgrades that include blue led lighting, mosfet power, schotty recieve system, echo/talkback, and a noise cancelling mic for 110 bucks on Ebay. The seller does have 100 % feedback. 110 bucks used and upgraded vs 100 bucks new with no upgrades. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I do not know what all of these upgrades mean exactly. Thanks in advance, Travis.

 

Here is the link to that radio. http://www.ebay.com/itm/COBRA-29-LT..._CB_Radios&hash=item35baa9ee2c#ht_2895wt_1270

 

i'd go for a used one already tweeked and tuned over a new one. But if you have a shop in mind, see what they have

 

Boy ain't that the truth! Then bad mouth the tech because their radio "don't get out like it's supposed to"!
