Re: Which CB radio should I buy?
I bought the Cobra 75WXST. It mounted behind/below the glovebox. The speaker
in the mike isn't very good, but there is a jack for an external speaker. Dan 01 Sahara "Mark A.

Re: Which CB radio should I buy?
I bought the cheap one at walmart and used it this weekend on the trail and
worked great in our group of about 15 jeeps. Jeff "Dan Tomanio" <dantomanio@adelphia.net> wrote in message news:t2t%a.2772$Nc.1757559@news1.news.adelphia.net ... > I bought the Cobra 75WXST.
