Hey, Need some advice on which CB to get as a first one. I haven't really needed it but I wish I would've had it sometimes during bad weather/traffic etc. Are the ones that are sold at the truckstops worth it? Should I buy on Amazon? I'd like to get a good one and as easy "plug and play" as possible. Wouldn't mind spending 200-300 for a decent set up.. If that uncludes mic/antenna and everything I'd need to set it up in the truck.
Thanks for the help.
First CB?

Starting off you can't really go wrong with any cheap radio. Cobra. Uniden.
Have to get 18 feet of cable and have the antenna trimmed.CorsairFanboy Thanks this. -

I got a uniden from a T/A for under $99. I am sell-taught on the CB lingo. A lot of people tell me to shut up.

If you're only going to use it as a "back up" radio, save your money. You can get another driver to roll his window down and ask him what's going on for free.
Just saying. -
