Im trying to figure out what cb radio to get so ill turn to the experts. What in yalls oppinion is the best cb radio for the money?

 

Depends on how much you are wanting to spend. I've got a Cobra 29 NW LTD and I love it.

 

The best straight cb made now is either a Uniden pc-68 or pc-78....both are excellent radios for the money

 

I had that one in my Bronco and loved it but sold it with the truck. Gonna go with a more compact one in the F-150.

 

I got the Cobra 29 WX NW ST, and I love it. It's just really hard to find a place to mount it in the newer F-150's.

 

What are you going to use it for?


Local? DX? etc......

 

The newer Cobra radios are ok but their quality has went way downhill since Uniden quit building Cobra radios back in about 95 or so...For a straight AM cb Uniden is the best. If you want AM and SSB and still want the best you have to buy used for a LEGAL cb. Either a Uniden Grant XL or a Cobra 148GTL made by Dynascan....Same radio. There are alot of choices out there if you want a export or Ham radio...Both are illegal to use on regular CB channels but if you are responsible and careful, you should have no problems
