LOL I haven't had a CB radio in years... so getting back into this stuff. It's amazing that many of the radios look IDENTICAL to the ones I used 30 years ago!
snagged this from a site: An Off-Road Driver's Guide to CB Radios - 4-Wheel & Off-Road Magazine so may be a bit dated...
When choosing a CB radio for your vehicle, it is important to understand that all radios transmit with the same amount of power. The FCC limits CB transmission power to 4 watts, so choosing a CB radio is less about the power and more about how the radio fits your vehicle and your communication needs.
Picking a CB Radio
Because off-road vehicles lend to have small cabs, a compact CB radio is often a good fit. The most popular compact CB radios are the Uniden 510 PRO XL and the Cobra 75 WX ST. The Uniden 510 is an extremely durable radio that offers reliable performance at an affordable price. The Cobra 75 is a more unique radio that has the controls and speaker built into the microphone. While both of these radios are a good fit for compact vehicles, they don't have all the features found in a larger CB. If you have ample cab space and are looking for a full-size CB with all the bells and whistles, the Cobra 29 is a great choice.
Curious on what you guys are using - what antennas, and how you're mounting the radio/antenna too!
