Thumbs up 10-4 good buddy

ok i have a cb but its not really all that powerfull. i have a 3 foot antenna on the roof of my truck. anybody have any ideas of a new cb i can get that isnt tooo expensive but still powerfull or maybe one of you guys might have a suggestion to boost the one i have now. If this thread doesnt belong here lemme know but i figured its off topic.

Re: 10-4 good buddy

The So Cal Impreza Club forum I read sometimes was trying to get a huge group buy together on somekind of CB radios that had around a 20 mile range, so they could all just chat all day. Sounded like a neat idea, but it's like a $150 - 200 initial investment, right?

Re: 10-4 good buddy

Regular CB's are limited to 3 watts broadcasting power, although some people can up the power.

The best CB's are the 'sidebands' They have 80 additional channels as well as the 40 regular ones. They have a 30 mile range or more on sideband.

I agree, Even better since they went coast-to-coast walkie talkie service.. Pretty much all I use. I never go over my minute's now
