Hi All,

First post - I'm new at all of this. I'm a new driver and need a CB for the truck. Trouble is, I don't know much about it all. I had a CB in the 70's for playing around and vacation trips, but that's about all I know.

I really might just need someone to point to a good CB dictionary or glossary!?!?
I'm very confused with terms like Export, 10 meter, 11 meter, but I understand general electical and electronics better than a typical 'Harvey Homeowner'.

I'd like to get ONE radio that will serve LOUDLY and CLEARLY for years to come. I think I should probably get SSB since I keep reading about it's usefulness, but I believe I'll be using chnl 19 mostly. Money isn't an issue, so getting a big radio, once and for all, is probably the number one concern.

So, if you guys can advise a good Big sounding radio for a trucker that just pushes the mic button, I'd appreciate the help. If this turns into a major hobby, I'll bet I can find a way to solder in a truck <grin>.

TIA
