[QUOTE="bobracing, post: 841416, member: 16070"] I personally like the Uniden 520 (same as 510 but with RF gain). It's not the best radio around but will talk OK. If you buy it from a CB shop, ask them to "tune" if for you. A tune will make sure it's putting 4+ watts out and the modulation is 100%, or at least what the radio will take. The RF gain is also nice for turning down and not hearing all the noise. I usually run the RF about 1/2 running down while highway traveling, can still hear the trucks but not the noise, this will also work in the mountains. The 510/520 also have a front face mic. plug making it easier to mount inside a dash, just run an external speaker. Not sure what kind of antenna you’re looking for but I've also had good luck with mag mount little wils., it's also short and not a whipping hazard. This isn't BIG DOG equipment but for about $100 it will work very nicely for trail work or caravanning down the highway. I've found the BIG DOG radio aren't worth it unless you want toys or get serious. If you get serious step up to a ham license. [/QUOTE]
