Yea it wasnt cheap but i really am glad i went with this guy over a cheap one from walmart or something, a few of my friends run the cheap ones and i get way better performance out of this.
I also just picked up a 62 watt VHF radio for my truck as well, I can talk to people about 70km away over mountains. CB is good for when me and a few of my buddies are hunting or in a convoy going down the highway but for communicating with truckers and logging trucks the VHF is the way to go, all loggers are on VHF now as are most truckers.
