If you're looking for a CB base - any particular "brand"?

What has stood out for you as likeable, dependable and "brings back good memories" kinda' stuff...the "Warm fuzzies" kinda feeling...?

So any good ones?

You ran the gauntlet - but all are RCI Midland Uniden (CB) but you also mentioned several Amateur inclusive in that list but only one never really got mentioned (two actually - read on) all except Cobra...

IF you run across a 2000 or a 142 I had wonderful times with those - I personally like the 142 myself - more dedicated to the CB, but doesn't not have an Alarm clock waker-upper you'll ever never use...Freq counter? Time? well that's optional...gets complicated too...

But there's a Washington from Uniden...Pro 810e I still have... they are solid performers and truly dedicated CB radios - no frills...but are good radios to listening to QSO's thru to while having a morning cup of coffee. Washington's are LARGE BIG radio faces, but the 810e is more like a Stereo component system

Radio Shack had several bases too - like the Navaho (858) - but they are rare finds...Some of their bases have the "goofy 5-pin half-moon DIN" that not too many liked.

So are you looking for a radio or are you trying to find a case style that fits a "Cubby" in the camper?
