Let’s talk CB radios

If I were you and just looking for something to communicate every so often, I would buy a Uniden Pro 520 about $80 or so it's a very good radio. I wouldn't use a cheap lighter plug because it effects the performance of the radio, hard wire it with a quick plug. A magnet mount antenna will do a good job, but you have to get the swr set for the antenna for best performance. Also get an external speaker much better than the built in one. The Cobra 29 LTD Classic is a good radio if you want to step it up.
