My Son wants a CB Radio fro Christmas. I am willing to buy him one, but
have no exerpience in this area and would love some recommendations for
the radio and antenna. We live in an urban area. I would prefer a radio
that can be easily moved between vehicles. I am looking for a good
quality radio, but don't put a high priority on "cool."

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Regards,

Ed White

What's your budget?

Up to $325.00 unless there is a really good reason to go higher.
Naturally, I'd prefer to go lower.

Thanks for asking.

For ease of transport between vehicles, proven quality, durability and
performance, nothing beats a Wilson magnetic mount. Go with the 500,
1000, or 5000. It will outlast most of the radios.

I would also opt for the cobra 29 in addition to the Wilson. No point in
having the freeband channels if your not going to use them. And the 29 costs
less and has a long standing history of being a quality built radio.

Stay away from the Cobra. The Uniden is a good unit. They have a model like that
one, without the weather channels. Weather channels are a waste.

I got the 1000. What is the 500? Is that new?

Nah. It's a tad smaller than the 1000, handling less wattage. They even
have one smaller than that called "Lil' Wil"..I've used the 500, 1000
and 5000 with the same radio and couldn't really tell any difference. Of
course, I wasn't pumping thousands of watts, either.

Buy an old HR2510 and a Wilson. Be happy.
