Price: $50.00 Pros: works, smaller size Cons: not a lot of bells and whistles Recommended? Yes
Comments: Not much to say... it works. I wanted a CB for off roading & got it as a gift. It isn't as big as some models which is a plus for the Jeep TJ. The sound from the speaker leaves something to be desired, but so does the factory stereo system. Works for my needs. Just wish Jeeps came with factory CB antenna mount.

Price: $59.99 Pros: -Compact
-Cheap
-Easy to use Cons: -Fit and finish not Grade A
-Not adjustable Recommended? Yes
Comments: Great little unit that's worth the money for someone who needs a CB for recreational use, but doesn't want to spend tons of money on an advanced unit with features they won't use. The small size is wonderful for placing it in tight locations and keeping it out of the way.
It may not be the right CB for someone who is looking for lots of features, however. It lacks many of the adjustments that higher-end CBs possess, and the fit and finish aren't as high as some may like. Mostly plastic construction.
It has a port for an external speaker, and while the unit is surprisingly loud for its size, it could benefit from having one hooked up.
Highly recommended for the amateur CB operator.

Price: $59.99 Pros: Small enough to afford flexibility in mounting options. Cons: Small = small volume & squelch knobs, too, which translates to: difficult to adjust while bouncing on the trail... Recommended? Yes
Comments: $59.99 + tax. Inexpensive unit that's not embellished with a ton of features. Nonetheless, it does what it's supposed to do when it's supposed to do it. Reliable comes to mind. Small enough to offer a variety of mounting locations. I'm very happy with it.
I should mention I don't really use it on the road, indeed, I remove it unless I'm headed out on a trail run with my friends/buddies.
The only "con" is that the knobs are small and it's difficult to adjust volume or squelch when you're bouncin' around on a trail...still, I'ld recommend it to those on a limited budget or just don't want to getthe top of the line, but, want the functionality & flexibility a CB offers.

Price: $49.99 Pros: Small, easy to use, dummy proof Cons: Small, easy to use, dummy proof. Not real adjustable Recommended? Yes
Comments: Got this awhile ago for one of my other cars. its good for the budget minded, not so balls to the wall person. Gets the job done, but because its not tune able it can give you a few headaches. But seriously what do you expect from a $50 cb. Would I get another one, No. Would I sell this one, nope, i'd give it away. Not great, but useful.

Price: $18.00 Pros: Very small radio, Fits in my glove compartment Cons: None really Recommended? Yes
Comments: Picked it up cheap off of eBay. Its wired into my glove box and I store it there when I'm not using it so it doesn't get stolen while I'm in the city.

Comments: Great for a basic trail cb, (Ebay Radio) however the antenna is always the "heart" of the system. I have the 4' firestik tuned at exactly 1.0, perfect trx/rcx.
