    Too bad more people won't just switch to ham already

    I have this: https://www.amazon.ca/Uniden-PRO520XL-40-Channel-CB-Radio/dp/B00004VXNI

    It is very good for the money. I had it in my previous vehicle for commuting but haven’t gotten around to installing it in my truck yet.

    You may want to consider a no ground plane antenna so you don’t fry another cb: https://radioworld.ca/fir-fg4648b

    I am not all about taking tests and getting licenses.

    Push button, talk. That is all I want.

    *Edit*

    That Uniden CB is 1/2 the price of the cobra I posted. Very nice. :thumbsup:

    It doesn’t have the 10 NOAA weather channels or dual watch if that matters to you.

    The radio is also conveniently small, about 1-3/8 high x 4-1/2 wide x 6-3/4 long.

    honestly, i haven't gotten into CBs or look at them since i learned from you guys that it's possible to fry the radios :bananadead:
    but getting a handheld will allow me to chat with those on the hard mounted systems right?

    besides getting a license and tests, anything i should know about HAM?

    besides most here will not use it, I prefer traditional way of yelling. :drunk:
    Haven’t seen people use it either when I traveled across US/Canada on my long overland trips. But if you want to play overland game go ahead. I would just get Garmin InReach if you are concerned about safety.

    That's the tensioner pulley if I'm not mistaken. They say it can't be done but I did it. Had to press a sleeve into an upper idler pulley and it worked.

    Just do both... Or all three. I carry GMRS in the truck at all times, have cb from before and a newly installed ham.
