What CB do you guys have/recommend? And Why?

I got this one at Flying J for around $65. I installed it in place of the OEM CD changer - it is one clean install because the unit is DIN sized. I used the Cobra CB mount and attached it to a hidden part within the dash - it looks factory. I'll take a pic of it for you. Otherwise, like what had been said, the antenna is the more important point of focus (play on words there).

Ditto on the radio. I paid $65 for the radio and $24 for the antenna at the local truckstop (PILOT). I also run the FireStik antenna and have great luck with both. Played around with talking to my Dad (he had a handheld cb) and we talked up to 15 miles away before I lost him...he still heard me though!(he called me on my cell to tell me I was still reaching him.)

When the Chicago gang met up with the Denver gang heading to Moab, PBKid asked me to be the tailgunner as he lead the convoy because we had no issues communicating to & fro.

My SW reading was so low that I thought the meter was broken and exchanged it for another one only to get the same reading....almost zero!
