CB Radio Recommendations ?

[henney]

I'm looking for a recommendation on a new CB radio:

Here are the features I find most important:

1) Good receiver
2) Scan feature
3) SSB
4) Base station ideal, but mobile good too

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Alan/N3LGE

Uniden 980 or CRE 8900

If the scan feature is a priority that will limit the options. That said a Magnum 257HP or Omega force HP fit all your needs.

CB Radio Requirements

CB requirements narrowed down the list guys. I was going to recommend the CRE-8900 but if he's sticking strictly to CB radios what are his choices? Personally in the CB category I'd opt for the Uniden 980.

If a scan feature is a must, there's only a few to choose.....pricy too. I dont recommend the 980, it's a basic 40ch SSB, low power, next to no mod's can be done for a $200 radio. Look into a new or used RCI 2950, used go for around $150, lots of features, mods and a duel final 40w-50w radio.

None of the new CB radios available today are impressive in the slightest.
Go with a RCI 2950 for SSB performance.

How about the RCI-2995DX base station ?

I know a couple of locals that have them and they give them a thumbs up. Myself....I hate high powered export radios with a passion.
Their radios do sound very good but best bang for the buck would be a 2950 and a power supply.

Here you go.

I remember seeing the ads for those

Here you go.

The listing called it a rare radio.....that is an understatement. Robyn made some excellent radios back in the day.

Better get it before superhawk66 does. He'll mark it up to $1500.00.

I've bought some NIB/NOS radios from this guy.
