thinking of getting a c.b. for my van,just a cheapie from flea bay to have a laff,havent used one for years,so anyone reccomend a half decent one? cheers in advance
Same as always get a Cobra one thats modded to SSB too.
If not go for something like a Cobra 148 where modding is a piece of piss and theres plenty of support
Not been on the band in a long time the scene has died a hell of a lot since back in the day and a lot of users made the shift to SSB due to its superior DXing without any real need for a burner or the like on the conventional band.
Make sure and pick up a SWR meter too and tune your aerial as best you can, id hold off tuning fully till you find a channel/band that's well populated and then just tune it right up to that frequency (Do this on the low wattage setting so you dont harrass everyone else on the channel)
