    For a newbie? I would like it to not be over expensive (just starting out) but decent.

    Thanks!

    Well, if you live in nashville, you got the best cb shop around at the exit 163. I got a Stryker SR-497HPC 10 Meter Amateur Radio, i like it it works well.

    Or you can just buy one of the standard brands and set it up properly. Save money and sound just fine.

    See the 10 meter amateur radio part? That means you're technically supposed to hold an FCC license for it. Just sayin.

    The amp would be outright illegal a well. What ever radio route you go, don't fall prey for some hocus-pocus super mod or what ever it is being called.Just make sure it is properly aligned and use the best antenna you can afford.
