Re: SSB CB Usage?
 

Chris,
I don't know really about SSB usage, I think that most of them just
use one channel when they go out on runs. I am a ham also, but have
purchased a Cobra 75 WX ST CB. It is an "all in one" type of radio,
controls
and display are all in the handset. Look at the following link for ebay
for one

I also use a mag mount 11 meter Wilson whip

Hi Chris,
You don't have a ham license, although I hear they're pretty easy
to get now, without the Morse
code tests.
Or the Fifty dollar CB:

I have this radio (75 WX ST) too and am happy with it. It takes up
very little space and is easy to install. Most use CB to talk to
each other on the trail ("trail chatter"). My bet is that you'll
find very few with SSB.

Use the difference in price to get a GPS receiver. :)
