You're welcome Dakota. Here is a link to Uniden showing the new version of the radio I have. UnidenDirect - Bearcat Pro Series with Dynamic Squelch Control
I don't know if the quality has diminished since I bought mine, but I'm sure there are some websites devoted to CB radios complete with reviews. $150 or less should get you a more than an adequate set-up that you will be satisfied with. Be sure to let the CB tech know what kind of truck you have for proper antenna selection. A decent radio is a small part of the whole. A good antenna and proper ground plane are the key to a usable system.
I don't talk much on my CB. But it is always on with the squelch turned up and the volume down. I agree most of the CB conversation is garbage. I have developed an acute sense that allows me to listen to recorded books or music and still pick out important info from the CB concerning road conditions, accidents or construction delays BEFORE I encounter them!
Good luck with your selection and stay away from hand held radios. 10-4 good buddy and I ain't got no panties on!
