Help in making a CB Santa selection
What would be the best pick for a CB for a base if you could buy it. Santa has been asking me questions on what I would want. I do have a tech ham license so this may help you guys that are up on this to make a suggestion. I don't stay up to date on stuff but use the older radios usually. Can you help with a great pick for me. PS Any options to add when buying please include. Thanks Ron

My list From Santa

CB radios. ssb Mobil Uniden 980 for am only Cobra 29lx
For Import Mobil Magnum S45hp or Ranger 2950 DX
Not big on the base radios . You could always get a Kenwood Ts480sat and do the conversion to add 11 meters or the Yaesu radios

hmmmm

ROBYN EXECUTIVE IN MINT CONDITION OR A MINT GE SUPERBASE....
as far as mobiles i got the best "2950dx-3 and a at-5555"
 
You can't go wrong with a President Washington. Not all of them have been hacked up and golden screwdrivered into oblivion. Many are still in mint or near mint condition. Just last week I saw a few on ebay that were NOS!

Also worthy of consideration are the Uniden 610 (AM) and 810 (SSB) base radios. These are harder to find but well worth the effort.

There really isn't too much of a selection when it comes to NEW base radios. What little development has occurred has been in the mobile sector.
 
I had a washington many years ago didnt really like it.It wasnt till i got my 2510 that i fell in love with radio....
