Decent hand held CB

[Dilldog]

Im thinking about trying to pickup a low cost hand held CB. Im not worried about doing much communication with it, the goal with this radio would be to hear loggers rolling down any roads I might find myself on. I really dont want to run more coax or mount another radio and antenna on my rig. Between that and the limited use it will see is why Im just wanting a hand held. Just looking for some guidance on a low cost radio so I know when a truck loaded at 200K might be rolling down at me so I can get out of the way before I hear the Jakes, lol.

I think the Midland 75-822 is about your only real option for completely handheld. It also has an adapter to plug into a cigarette lighter. I think they go on sale for about $90 fairly often.

Agreed on this model CB.

Cool thanks guys. I had seen that before but honestly wasnt sure if there were any lower cost alternatives I was missing.

Midland, Cobra, and Uniden all make a handheld that run between $60 and $90.
