What CB radio to buy?????
well guys im looking for a cb radio for pretty cheap. Im only going to be using it when i wheel and maybe sometimes when im just driving around talking to random people.
I was thinking of getting the Cobra 19 III
CLICK ME
What would you guys recommend i don't want to spend over 50 bucks.
I know Justin had said something to me about getting a different mic once i got one but i don't remember what he said. I could get that later i just want to get a cb for now.
Thanks Guys

IM planning on running a 4 foot fire stick off my front fender and as short of cable to the radio its self.
I dont know much about these so any teaching would be great.

there are multiple sites on the web on how a cb should work and how to get the best out of it. hit up google. heres one: Things Every CB'er Should Know -- ©1997 FIRESTIK® ANTENNA
my cb was tuned by a cb shop in indiana. so for all them annoying ppl doing dumb crap i key my mic and shut them down.

I have the $50 model from wal-mart (cobra 19 DX VII?), 4 foot firestick antenna, stake pocket mount, and a cheap cable. Works fine for wheeling, atleast it worked great out at the dunes. I dunno about on the road, never had a use for it on road.
Heres that mount:

I must have that doo dad, because I get no interference from the engine, and that is where my antenna is mounted. Hell, my radio is silent other than the occasional trucker.

I think the most important thing is the antenna and if your SWR is set up properly.
I used this site to set mine up and it works great. has a range of about 5-6 miles for both receiving and transmitting. At least thats the farthest I have confirmed.

Should answer pretty much any question you have about setting up a CB radio.
