    I am looking in to buying a CB radio.  My friend just got on and loves it and now Im interested.  I want to buy from radioshack, but are they the best quality?  I want to get a good, handheld cb radio for cheap money.  Any tips would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks,

    This reminds me of the simpsons episode where they mention Ham Radio and all they get is some russian voice and the subtitles say "I have a Ham Radio".

    Had me cracking up laughing, god knows why it's so funny though

    I love CB radios and would be glad to help you! Do you want a mobile CB or a handheld one? How much money do you want to spend?

    Hmmm... I would try looking at Cobra Handheld CB radios at Walcott CB. They should fit your budget quite nicely.

    Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them! Ya the 8 foot antenna is pretty rediculous! I have a great time using my CB, and yes your sons would probably love it. smile

    Very painful acting at the end - that was not an AWESOME attempt at self-promotion. wink
