CB purchase time...

[AkMudr]

Which one is a better over all cb, I.E. more options, better tuning, reception. Granted you'd have to consider every mdoel each company makes, I'm just looking for an overall census. I've never had a Uniden, just a lil Cobra Ultra 19 which was good for trails.

Was lookin at a Uniden PC68LTW or Cobra 25 WX NW.

My main concern is distance, which I already know is only as good as the antenna. I will be driving from VA to alaska in april and in Canada, cb's can be yer best friend.

I have a President Lincoln converted for 11 meter.

Great radio !!! Little more spendy then a basic CB, but has all the features I wanted. By the Way, President was bought out by Uniden years ago.

If you are buying a new radio I would get a Uniden. The quality control on the Cobras sucks.

If i'm not mistaken Cobra owns Uniden.

My big thing honestly is distance and the quality of incoming/outgoing. I know theantenna makes up alot of that. I do alot of driving duringthe summers, snowmachinginthe winters so I figured I'd break down and get a good radio the first time.

I foudn the PC78LTW for 107$ shipped. Anyone know of a better place to buy them? Also thinkin about a Wilson 5000 with magnetic base($79). How strong are the magnets?

Someone enlighten me as to what "True Tune" and "Mega Tune" do.

Uniden used to make Cobra radios. Cobras are now made by Maxxon with the cheapest parts possible.
