My Cobra 18WXST crapped the bed this weekend. What's a good CB to get nowadays? I haven't bought one in damn near 20 yrs. I saw a cobra with bluetooth, what is the point of that?
I actually already have that exact BaoFeng radio, I just don't have a license yet. And with my time restraints with work and my kids activities, I don't see myself getting my license any time soon. I don't have time to study and I don't have time to go to a class (my local class is all 4 Saturdays of the month of November from 7am-5pm).
I just sold my cb to switch over to this unit, and I only keep the cb as it is a requirement of the ohv volunteer program. It is about 75 bucks on amazonMidland 75-822
Mobile unit plugs into a hard mounted antenna / power supply or uses its own small antenna / battery pack.
Versatile, easy to use, less than $100.

this the exact one i haveI just downsized my CB set up to a Uniden PRO520XL
Ham is the preferred method of communication for me now a days, but you also need to be prepared for the lowest common denominator. CB is the minimum for the runs I go on.
With my local Xterra group, we're slowly moving everyone to ham radio.
If it helps, I downloaded a free practice test app for my phone and just ran through the questions lazily on smoke breaks over the course of a month. Once I had them licked, I scheduled my test. Baofeng radio, magnetic roof-mount antenna, HT upgrade antenna, and test ran me less than $100, total.I actually already have that exact BaoFeng radio, I just don't have a license yet.

Solid setup. That shelf stock? Van?
Also, I need to get on the patch collecting bandwagon.
