Hi, looking to upgrade from my hand held 40 channel radio, don't know what to go for or what to avoid,

Would have a used one if I knew it was a good one,

also this keeps popping up when looking on ebay TTI TCB-1100 Multi-Standard CB Radio With Front Speaker on eBay (end time 20-Jul-11 15:04:22 BST)

These guys http://www.thunderpole.co.uk/ always seem to get a good write up and Midland seem to be a popular make.

Yeah this midlands looks good just wish they did more with front mounted speaker as I wanted to mount it in the center air vents.

I recently bought and fitted a Midland 98 in mine ... easy to use and great quality. It's fitted to a 1.65m Thunderpole.

I have this in my P38 Package Deals & Starter Packs - 4x4 Packages - BasicPLUS Offroader : 4x4 - TTi TCB-550 Package Deal its small enough to fit between the seat and the centre console. I can't find a better place for it.

My Only issue with newer CB's, is the use of LCD displays...They have to be right in the line of sight, or you cant see what channel you're on. I have a Cheapy tti550 mounted above the sun-visor in my Disco...but due to the angle cant really see the display. I know I could move the CB, but I like it there...its out of the way, close to hand & doesnt get wet when wading (Or if its raining & the window is open :doh: )

Had the same problem solved it by squeezing a small thin travel mirror or something reflective between radio and headlining does the job

mmmmm what to get so many out there, are the front mounted internal speakers loud enough? and does the auto Squelch work ok?

If i could find a midlands with a front speaker i'd go for that as is a popular name rather than something no ones heard of.
