Midland radios offer best bang for buck, good range, extras and parts easily available. For good suppliers and model number see previous freds (quite a few).

I picked up a cheapo Kernow rig from some chap on ebay, seems to do the trick.

Have a look at advice here:-
CB Radio Feature looks at what you need to know to choose and install a suitable set for your vehicle, without, (for once) too much technical explanation!
Two-way traffic!Magazine Clipping Article; How to Install a CB 'rig'
All CB's are limited to 4w transmitter power, so performance is more influenced by the aerial & mounting. Rig choice comes down to whats important to you, for most of us green-laning, simple & rugged rather than feature packed, so cheaper ones work well enough, & you tend to get better quality radio electrics with fewer 'features'.... but see link. Midland, Maycom, Cobra, TTi are the more common 'reputable' brands, Midland probably the most popular. I wouldn't touch the Maplin offering tbh, but its cheap enough, works OK & its easy to find a shop.....
