I've been satisfied with my Uniden and the price is very affordable

I'd suggest using Google to search for how to install a CB. Rather than rewrite instructions, here's a good overview of the installation process. http://www.instructables.com/i.....-CB-Radio/ One additional thing I would recommend is you tune your antenna after installation. http://www.rightchannelradios......usting-swr

Installation is easy and all you need to focus on is how you install your antenna to the bracket. Then tune it after your done and you'll be good to go!

Fire stick is what i use. Brackets are easy to make, or can be bought for 20 bucks.

Cobra model 19 is a great basic CB radio that is not expensive.
