Yep my post was sorta in response to RL post. I don't think a couple hundred bucks is a fortune to spend on a citizen's band radio. That's just my opinion tho and that dollar amount fluctuates wildly depending on who you ask
Drivers CB on a budget combo??

But let's be a little realistic here, these are almost the same exact radios that they were 40'years ago except with newer components, the basic design has yet to change. While other radios, like ham radios have change drastically, cb radios have remained static.
These radios are single conversion simple filtering with a simple transmit strip, all the bells and whistles are built around this design and really doesn't improve it.Intothesunset and Slowmover1 Thank this. -
I'm not a radio guy, just a basic understanding of them.
mine is always on, just not yakking on it.Intothesunset Thanks this. -
So let's name some quality components.
mic ? Astatic ?
Speaker ? $200 ?
Radio? $400 ?
Antennas? $100
Coax? $50 ? Is copper better?
Tunning cost ? -

Simple, easy to use and is easy to fix.rabbiporkchop, Meteorgray and Intothesunset Thank this. -
Your link says it’s an AM/FM radio. I’m confused because when I clicked on the link, it doesn’t say anything about FM. Unless I missed it. You really shouldn’t need a new cb radio tuned (I know everyone insists on it), it should work just fine out of the box.rabbiporkchop and Intothesunset Thank this. -
Numb and Intothesunset Thank this.
