[QUOTE="Hip, post: 841418, member: 16058"] i use the cheapest radioshack cb there is and a real good firestick adjustable antennae tuned with an SWR meter. it works as good as real expensive cbs and better than most because of the tuned antennae. IMHO any cb will not last in an open truck enviornment with the moisture and mostly dusty conditions. if you have a cab then maybe a better quality might last longer. the first two unidens lasted about a year and a half apiece. the radioshack has lasted about 5 years and this one is going on year 6. where ever you buy your stuff from should offer to tune the antennae for you free. Edit: what ever you do do not get a long steel WHIP antennae as they are very dangerous on the trail. you could put someones eye out with one of those. i also saw a guy break someone elses windshield with his whip.
