New CB...recommendations...?

Post by JF Lux » Tue Sep 16, 2014 6:37 pm

I think it's time I got a new CB...Just about the only real requirement I have is that the wattage can be uprated. Either very easily (eg simple jumper connection change) or preferably already uprated from a dealer.

So...any recommendations on:

1) CB Radio
2) Dealer that will supply a modded radio with more power

Thanks. :thumbright:

No idea John - but you may have more power, but the person you are talking to might not!

But you could always try Thunderpool - seem to have a good selection - some expensive ones, so probably suit you sir :rasp:

That could be your CB 'name' John...... Thunder pole :mrgreen:
By the way, semi off-topic. Do you guys use your forum names on the CB? :popcorn:

We tend to just talk - generally we can tell who is speaking by the accents - Steve the Scouser, The other Steve the posh scouser, John the Foreigner, Del the Soft southerner, Paul the Spaniard.
