While SSB can be very useful, it isn't used much at all on the road. Its hard to maintain tuning while in motion due to the dopplar effect caused when either the closing or opening rate between two mobile stations changes (frequency looks higher or lower due to changes in velocity).

As for a radio that can be boosted quite nicely and will last a long time with care, 1 Cobra 29 is hard to beat. There are 29 models out there that are 30 years old and still going strong, and the current 29 LTD classic is all but identical in design to those hard core oldies.

If you want to get a radio that has it all plus power, I'd look at either the Cobra 200GTL, or the Galaxy 95T. The 200GTL runs in the general ballpark of $250-$300, and the 95T runs around $500 give or take.

When we say export, we mean a radio that has extra power and more than 40 channels built into it from the factory, or a non-legal radio. 10 meter and 11 meter refer to frequency ranges. CB channels are often referred to as 11-meter.
