Alright i need a new radio going to try and keep it simple this time around. Some of you may remember me i used to post on here along time ago.Ok heres the deal, I really got into this cb thing awhile back and bought myself this big export radio that blew all my friends out of the water so i took it out of my truck and bought a used Cobra 29 that i hated so i sold it and kinda forgot all about cbs. Well about a month ago i bought a new truck and got to thinking id like to put a cb in it. So now i need whats a good radio for under a $120. it needs to be somewhat small, easily modded, and decent output after a basic peak & tune. What about SSB is it something that is worth having?
The radios im looking at are:
Uniden PC68 and 78
General Sherman
Cobra 148gtl
Glaxaly(sp) 949
I know there are more so just give me yall opnions.
 

have you looked into a uniden grant? i just got one and it's awesome. it has ssb and it works pretty good.
i also have a uniden 78 elite and it's screamin! has weather channels, swr meter, illuminated background, etc. so if you want ssb get a uniden grant and if you want am only get a 68 or 78 elite.
 
I wanted something a little smaller but didn't want to with one of the little cheap toys. I finally settled on a Cobra 25, its about 1" narrower than a cobra 29.
 
Well guys i bought me a Cobra 29 classic today they had a sale going on over at the local truck stop. Even though i didnt care for the last one i had. But i tried this one out and i liked it and it seems to work better than the last one. Going to peak and tune it in a few days. I think it will hold me over until i get the S-6 sold then im going to buy me an older 148 if i can find one.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
