Smaller CBs

Cobra 25 or Uniden 68

 

If those are still to large, get a Uniden Pro 520-XL.

 

Check out the Cobra 75WX ST. It is a CB in a hand-held unit, with the LCD display and controls all built-in the the microphone. It connects to a remote box that you can mount out of sight. Sells for about $100 or so.

 

Magnum 257

 

I myself have a Cobra 19 Ultra III. Wal Fart sells them for $35. It's an ok radio, just make sure to get yourself an external speaker and an aftermarket mic. The stock mics are crap with those radios. If you need the RF gain, the 19 Ultra IV is the next step up.

A friend of mine has a Cobra 75 WX. It allows you to mount the main body under a seat and just have a mic handle up front that you can also change channels from. It's ok. I'm not real fond of them but for what they are they work.

Uniden makes a Pro 510 which is a real small radio. If you need the RF gain, the next step up is a Pro 520.

 

i have a midland 1001z that i use when i get sent out on the road that works good

 

I kept a Cobra 25 Night Watch as a backup. They are good radio's for the size and will reach out 4 miles like the rest. A good antenna is half the deal. What you buy at dept stores are junk.

You can get a good deal off ebay or go to a truck stop to buy one.
