If it were me i wouldnt get one off ebay, i would search for CB shops around your town....I found like 5 just in columbus, thats where i buy my stuff at, he can match the cb to what you want it for, put in different internals and what not

Are there any truck stops near you?

That's typically where they locate CB Radio shops that are worth a darn.

There are actual CB shops, for truckers......Walmart sells a small cobra, if your just wanting something for car to car, or less than a 5 mile radius...then just get a small cobra 40 channel CB and a nice wilson magnetic mount antenna....But you can end up spending tons of money on just a CB ...
