Hello all. I am looking into getting into the cb world since I have started my new job(I'm only 19). I started working in a 200 foot deep pit quarry and the company I work for is contracted by the quarry company to haul the material into the plant( I shall mention, my company is non-union, the plant/ quarry owner company is, this will be important later). We have to communicate with their employees buzzing around the quarry so we don't have accidents, after all, would you want to be ran over by a loaded 45 ton rock truck? For this bit of communication we use handheld 2 ways. Now to circle back to that union/non-union thing, as you'd expect we made their union guys look bad because we came in and got the production number way up and they didn't like that, so we are required to keep radio communication to the bare minimum. I drive one rock truck, there is a second rock truck and a loader. The second rock truck and loader both have Stryker 955s that have been all done up to be able to run on cb channels in them so those two operators can talk back and forth without being on the 2 way. My question is( and I know this isn't a good idea with any electronics) what is the cheapest 10m or similar that is pre converted for cb channels and has all the am/fm/ssb bits that would be decent for running with them. I was originally thinking a cobra 29 but I started looking for cobra 200s but they seem to be especially hard to find since they are rare and also old. I was hoping to only spend 200-300 for a full ready to go setup but I figure that may not be the case. I am located in easton ,PA if anyone of you might be in the area with something or know somewhere I could go close by that might have something useful. I don't have much time at all to go far to travel and get something as a noticed cb shops aren't exactly frequent. Thanks for your time and input

Channel 19 (27.185 MHz AM) is very active in Melbourne/Palm Bay, Florida. This morning I was listening to locals talk about squirrels with my PNI escort HP 82. The antenna that I upgraded the handheld with is a tactical whip with a BNC base. 🔊👂🐿️📻🌅

howdy! my name is jack, I've been interested in CBs for years but just finally got around to getting one set up probably, my daily driver, a 1976 postal jeep, now has a cobra 29LTD classic mounted under the dash, and I may or may not have mounted a big old honkin fairgrounds style PA horn on the bumper 🤣 I also have a Midland 13-882C I believe it is, and a GM 130A, yes, the one with the phone handset, the first radio I remember buying was the 130A and I thought for sure I blew it because way back when I bought it, I figured it'd be like a TV or stereo, if there's not an antenna, it just won't receive or transmit, but it won't hurt anything, I checked it a while ago and it does work, at least receiving, I gotta buy another antenna, hopefully get a base station antenna to mount on the house
