Default Best Affordable CB Radio
Hello,

I know I could work through this forum to find the answer, but to save some time, what's the up-to-date sentiment on best, affordable CB radio system. Basically I just need something to permit me to join a local club.

Thanks!

The Cobra 75WXST is a very easy install. I will let you use our search tool to learn why. ;-)

Uniden 510 or 520 is a great little CB radio. Typically can be found for under $50.00

The Midland 75-822 is great. No permanent install if you don't want to, and it can be used as a portable unit. You can find it for around $75 shipped.

After my research, the Uniden520 is the one i'll buy. There are methods of mounting it that are non-perminent too.

A uniden 510 will work great. Modded one with mosfets and it does 28watts on peaks

What about the Cobra 75 WX St? You can hide it, easy install and you don't have the box to mount.

I installed a Midland 1001lwx cb radio. I like it because it's compact, has the NOAA scan feature, PA capability and the noise filter
