Cant go wrong with a Uniden hand held. They got the lil mini ones at Dick Smith for about 50 bucks last time i checked. The only shit thing with those ones is that you dont have the option of plugging in an external mic. The next size/model up from these are pretty good, but i think they're nearly double the price.

IF your looking for them

Aim for ones with 1watt--> 2watt

Otherwise you'll find as soon as you get into twisty areas, you wont be able to even pickup a car 300-400 meters infront of you.

If memory serves me correcy my CB is 1.5 watt

And as Age said, rechargeable batteries are a must. I made the mistake years ago of not doing it.

And after a few cruises you need batteries as they dont seem to last all that long

haha....

2 watts "quad power".

sounds scary.

It would be handy if they had the insight to make the antennas on the handhelds removable so that a decent antenna could be hooked up without having to mangle the radio to do it.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
