...looking for some information on CB Radios. I drive a truck, and the one we had in there, although never quite working properly, died. My father bought it new from a local radio shop, I guess it was "re-built" for more power... although its quite obvious the guy had no clue what he was doing, because it barely picked up anything. There was also a lot of electrical interference... when you'd hit the brakes, turn on the heat... anything, there would be a really obnoxious whine from the CB.
I'm looking for some input as to what to look for in a new radio, what to keep in mind to avoid interference, whats the best for antennas (one or 2, what type... etc).
Someone on has to know a thing or 2 about these things.
My friends father runs a 2 way radio business, and i'm temped to talk to him, but I have to wait till I can make the trek to Vermont. In the mean time, I want to see if anyone here has any information they can share. I really dont know jack about these things, so a minor schooling would be nice!
Thanks!
