When choosing
a radio there are several factors to consider before making your purchase.
Cost,
Size and Features Required.
|
|
Cost
|
| Most
CB's are less than £100. In fact the cheapest is only £49.99.
When purchasing a CB radio most people believe that the more expensive
the radio the better the range. However this is not true. The range mostly
depends on which antenna you are using and where it is mounted. The price
difference between the CB Radios is down to the amount of features it
has and overall quality of the transmitted and received signals. |
| Size |
| Not
all CB radios are the same size, however most are smaller than say a car
stereo for instance. If you wish to put a new CB Radio into your vehicle
you should find a suitable place to mount it. Most people fit it somewhere
in the dashboard, however if you do this remember that the internal speaker
is in the bottom of the radio and you might not be able to hear it very
well. The way to get round this is to use an external
speaker which can be mounted on the dash (all CB's that we
sell have an external speaker socket). |
| Features
Required |
| All
CB radios have different features, these let you communicate more easily
and efficiently. There are many different features available on a CB radio,
from Auto Squelch to Built in SWR Meter. If you are new to CB these names
will probably mean nothing to you! However we have a page on this site
that explains each of the features in plain english, to get to that page

the more expensive the radio the more features it has. |
| All
the radios advertised on the THUNDERPOLE website include the unit, a microphone,
a rig bracket, a power lead and a built in speaker. The CB antennas and CB mounts are available
separately. |
