Which CB to Buy and watts

Hassle free?
RCI2950 and xforce tnt350
stryker 447 and xforce 200hd
Uniden 880 and xforce X200

Each has diff features, each does 400-500w, each is under $600

 

when i started a few months ago i boughtthe cheapest uniden on sale at loves for $35 just a volume and a squelch dial. So in my KW T700 I am all prewired with an antenna external speaker etc. My squelch is always so high to get rid of noise i dont hear much will a better radio reduce the noise or is the prewired coak the problem.I cant change the set up or antenna or at least unwilling to. Just dont wanna buy a better radio if it wont help

 

Predator double coil standard (not short whip)
Wilson 2k
Skipshooter 4' fiberglass
FirstikII 4' or firefly 4'
Francis 4'

These are listed in typical order of performance. They do not always tune best in that order on every truck.

Ranger is a full featured radio with no toys
stryker is an attractive good talking radio with toys (echo/talkback/chanels/beeps)
uniden 880 is a modern cb with weather, best in it's class

 

My little 510 always did much better with one antenna. Also it was terrible until i had it tuned and got rid of the mic that came with it

 

2970 is a pice of iron too. Very heavy....so heavy I couldnt mount it from the roof, it's a dash radio, so I bought a 2950........

Selling the 2970.....plug, plug......

 

" If you look online for Free Banding Freqs you will see that the FCC has opened up alot of the 10 and 12 meter bands for use buy the average CB user do to these bands no longer being used by liecened operaters "

WHAT

Please show me that rule change

 

well a mic isnt gonna rid me of the noise of course i havnt heard how i sound to others

 

FACT IS no one without a general class HAM license is allowed on 12 meters ( 24.890 - 24.990 mhz ) and on 28.000 - 29.700 mhz on 10 meters ....

Tech class can use 28.300 - 28.500 for SSB.

There is no " freeband " however outside of the HAM bands that's a FCC problem ...
