So I've looked around and the pickings appear to be slim in this category, but it's something I've always been adamant about. I'm planning on getting my ham tech ticket, maybe general, in the near future. That may mean in a few months, but that also may mean in a year. Depends on how much time I have to study as an over the road driver. So what fcc approved radio with cb and ssb capability do you guys recommend? I need something off the shelf, no mods needed other than tune and align, no linear. I want this to be a completely legal setup for a person with no ham ticket. Right now, I'm not going to be broadcasting on ssb but I will most definitely listen from time to time to get a feel for the band. Sorry for posting this when there are so many other threads reviewing different radios. Being that I've just recently gotten my first cb, which is a very old cobra 26 (aka 29a according to the back) 23 channel cb, I have no idea what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
