Help me pick a new radio please.

this is very true. the Optima would be easier in that fact. thanks for pointing this out. although with no echo, he probably wouldnt be happy anyway. hes luck i keep a radio in the damn truck!

Starting to think i should put my Uniden 66 in the truck and be done with it. and that brings up another question. i will start a new thread for it as it has nothing to do with this.

I ended up putting a CB in the truck. I'll keep in mind what my next radio will be but for now... The Gas Range in the kitchen died and then the Clothes dryer died the next day so, I had to keep the wife happy. No funds for playing radio. Bummer...
 
Oh, the joys of homeownership. My house eats a lot of funds, too.

As to the radio, I'm a little late too the party, but I probably would have stuck a Cobra 19 in the truck, and hidden a KL203 amp behind it. Let the other guy run it barefoot; can't get too much simpler that that. When it's your turn with the truck, flip the amp on. $30 radio, $70 amp. Actually, you could probably find a barely used 19 on Craigslist for about $5, lol.
