western Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 http://www.4x4cb.com/public/menu.cfm?Categ...Browse=Products http://www.thunderpole.co.uk/cb_radios.htm make sure you get one that has the 80 channels [40 uk & 40 Euro CEPT] because the UK cease to be in 2010, UK changes to the Euro 40 channels. any rigs from the above suppliers will do the job, depends on how much you want to spend & space in the cab. might be best to go for the complete package --- cb radio/cable/antenna, setting up info on those 2 sites & in our tech archive, or give me a shout & I'll help fit/set it up set up info my CB is this one Midland 48+ multi mine sits under the dash like this one but on the left hand side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Another consideration is a CB with a front speaker so you can mount it in the dash. X-eng do an Intek model that I am considering to replace my Midalnd 48. Nothing wrong with the Midland, I just want to mount my CB in my Mud Dash so need a front speaker as I am not going to mess around with a remote speaker.

discomikey Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 a nice thing is having a PA system, im not quite sure on how legal they are, but im off the road anyway and by gum are they fun, cows get properly confuzed. also make sure you get one which wont pick up the signals given off by the alternator, it whistles like a very loud and annoying turbo. mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I've got an Intek-H520, very good little radio and doesn't need hardwiring into the vehicle. I take mine out or 'remove' it from display when not in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Cocks Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Ive heard good things about the Midland radios so im leaning towards them at the moment. I'll have to give 4x4cb.com and thunderpole.co.uk a ring next week and see what offers they have got on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
