greetings fellow flashaholics;
i'm thinking--ok, i *want* to--get myself a CB radio. now i know more than a few of you fellows are into ham/CB, so advice would be appreciated.
not looking to start at the top, a decent entry level unit that will last me a couple of years. mainly, i'm planning a cross country trip, and a cb would be a great thing to get heads up on traffic conditions, speed traps, or just call in a stranded motorist. yes, i will have a cellphone but cbs are *fun*.
I was guided to a texas ranger tr100 series model by one fellow when i said i'd be doing xcountry. whaddya think? I don't have loads of dough (starving student /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif). it looks like i'll have to get an antenna for these things. will a magnetic or suction mount of some sort work? things have to be able to be pulled out of the car on short notice, i can't have this stuff on the car in school parking lot lest it get nabbed.
suggestions, comments, or just plain "visit this website for all your info" is welcome. thanks a million!
