CB Some people won't agree with this but i prefer the CB especially now that they are approved for FM here in the US, i also like to use my Motorola MURS mobile radio.

I have 1 Cobra 146GTL, 1 Cobra 148GTL, and 2 Cobra 29LTD Classics.

Get the 955, the 955hp isn't worth getting, the boards are really thin and have a tendency to crack if bounced around in the mobile, friend of mine has both and had to send in the 955hp twice to be repaired.

I agree, i use a Cobra 146 which works great on side-band, i also use a Cobra 29 LTD Classic, i believe the older model Cobras have the best audio.

We use the MURS frequencies, good hand helds get out about 3-5 miles, mobiles with a decent antenna about 10-15 miles, my base station 20-30 miles, and the frequencies are usually very quiet.

The Antron 99 works best at a full wave length, which is about 36 feet from the ground to the base of the antenna, i have mine set up that way and talk skip from the west coast to the east coast, also talk to Hawaii, New Zealand, The Virgin Islands, and a couple of other countries.

I run a Motorola Mobile VHF radio with the MURS frequencies programed into it, talk to several guys here in Southern California who are like 15 to 20 miles away, i like it because it is so much quieter than 11 meters (CB).
