What is the best cb radio for minimal price??

I need a cb radio and there are a lot out there on e-bay. I guess I am confused. What features and assecorise should i look for. I want to install it below the radio in my 94 toy truck and the range doesn't need to be super long but the longer the better i guess. Also what about antennas?

Thanks for the help,
Jason

I might help if you have an amount you would like to spend. You can get basic cobra and midland models for 50 bucks, and they are nice, but there are ones like the Cobra 75 WX, that’s really cool, and costs more (~$150). You can start with the models for 50 bucks and see if they have all the features you're interested in. Check out the write ups and see if you like the CB’s they installed.

fade,

a member said that fry's (if you have one in your town) is selling refurbed unidens for $20

firestik and wilson make good antennas. depends on where you want to mount them, though.
