In prep for TECORE next month and a few other adventures I have planned I figured a CB radio might be a good idea as its something I wont use very often I thought about getting a inexpensive handheld. After doing some reading it seems most if not all the handheld units suffer from poor reception due to the small antenna.
Anyone have a recommendation on an inexpensive CB radio? There are thousands out there I'm sure I guess more any particular features I should look for, not necessarily a specific one.
Any similar advise on an antenna?
Are the cables for the antenna standardized in some way? I think I saw a few build threads that mentioned installing one, I'll do some searching see if I can remember which maybe they'll give me some insight on the install and what else I may need.
