Hey everyone - I've been getting a ton of requests from people asking what radio to buy lately and I thinks it's time I put together some sort of buyers guide for people to look at to at least give them some ideas of what's out there.
Please see the attached survey and complete it so we can choose a "readers" choice for each category. I'm also going to do a "CBradiomagazine" choice and also an honorable mention.
I've chosen the radios and equipment listed based on certain criteria and I've only included items that are currently being sold and are fairly widely available. As much as we love some of the older models this guide is meant to help people trying to buy new products. I know that the choices are limited and I've left off some radios but I needed to keep the results somewhat limited to get clear results. If I left something obvious off please let me know.
When making selections please consider the following - performance, technology, durability and reliability, availability, user friendliness, etc.
Don't choose a radio because it's what you own, choose a radio based on your knowledge of the radio, features, and how it compares to the other choices listed. Keep in mind any trends that have happened with certain radios as well - warranty repairs, blown finals, etc even if you haven't had those problems with your radio.
Lastly - while I picked the items for this list based on my own criteria if you believe there is something I should have included please let me know.
Here is the link to the survey - thank you for your help!
