    If your looking at a base radio...Get one with SSB...Easier to make contacts on SSB with less watts. I have been talking all over the Country on 38 LSB on my Cobra 2000 GTL barefoot when DX is rolling... Not many locals here tho get on SSB, most stick to AM at night.

    roger beep comes in handy for helping whoever you contact know when your done talking especially when the signal is weak and talkback can help you make sure your speaking good and clear.

    If you aren't hearing anyone talking then its because nobody in your area is talking. No amount of money spent on radios, mods, mics, etc will change that.

    The hay day of CB are gone and stations are far and few. Just look in traffic for a car with an antenna. I am putting one of my radio's in my car for smokey reports on 19. I collect some nice CB's and I will only need a 23 channel one for the task.I use to have a few on lower side-band on channel 38; but they started bickering and tossed in the towel. I hear crazies on DX talking to themselves running Amp's.Radio shack stopped selling equipment in the store years ago. Myself and my wife ran a club with 75 members in the late 70's, there was a lot of clubs who got together for dances and coffee meets.Now people text while driving and wrap themselves around telephone poles.
