What is the best radio on the market today?

Johnson Viking Valant

 

I second that.

 

Hey everyone pretty new here, currently at home awaiting my trainer to pick me up to start my training with my first trucking company. Anyways my wife's papa has been a trucker for 48 years now and purchased me a CB for when I solo out. It's a Galaxy 939 and was just wondering what your thoughts are on it? Also got me an Astatic mic cause he isn't a fan of the ones that come with the galaxy

 

Thanks for the reply. I bought it a week ago. the antennas on the truck didn't seem to be worth a crap. the coaxial is as thick as a spaghetti noodle. so I bought a thicker coaxial a and a 4' Francis antenna. I'm not familiar with the other antennas with the coil shape and all that stuff. I'm at home and in a very rural area. so I wont know how it does until I get around other truckers on the road to check it out. I have always ran a Cobra or uniden. I decided to bite the bullet and spend some money on a better radio. Heard a lot of good things about a connex.

 

I guess mobile. for trucking

 

How much do they cost?

 

Thanks KC9RDO
