Is there any consensus on the best available CB being produced now?


Yes. CB-rigs are ALL crap.

Cheap HAM-rigs wich are in the same price range as expensive CB-rigs or
so called '10mtr-radios'. But the HAM-rigs are galaxies ahead in
quality. Take a Yaesu FT-817 or 897 or even one of those 'outdatet'
early Icom 706 or Kenwood TS-50
