I'm switching jobs, and the new truck that I'll be driving doesnt have a cb already in at (as my current one did), so I'm going to have to buy one. I'd like to spend no more than $150.00, so can someone give me a good suggestion on the best one for that price?
I use a Cobra 25 now, and it seems pretty decent although bare bones...It does seem to have decent range...About 5 miles or so it seems.
One thing I dont like is all the noise. Sometimes I have to adjust the squelch constantly. I think I read something before about "auto noise cancelling". Is this basically the "new squelch" or what? Do you still have to use squelch with this feature or no?
Also, how important is an antenna? Is it necessary to spend big $$ on a fancy antenna or will a cheap one work just as good?
Thanks in advance for the info.
