I have a few fav's
Old 40 channel Robyns (tube)
Cobra 29 (mobile AM)
Galaxy 959 (mobile ssb)
For base any of the RCI/Galaxy full size base radio are cool
I guess thats it for "cb" radios-- the only CB radio out of my list i would buy nowadays is the Robyn-- I would'nt really buy a cb-- usually like 10 meters or exports

My favorite is the one that steps on everyone else. Oh, you want to know exactly which one that is? Gee, what year is it now....
top pick base my Tram D201A & also my Cobra 135XLR mobile top pick Uniden Grant XL & Also my Cobra 148GTLF 
CB Radio ? 20 years around the hobby , Older 148GTL / GrantXL in AM/SSB cb radio PC-412. Very little needed for those radios to make a fine mobile or base station. Nowadays for a cb base station I would go with with either one of those,easliy modified for channels , very little needed in the tuning department , great audio at 100% , fantasic recieive quilites.Will handle just about any microphone (desk or hand held) you put on them. I prefer the Shure 526-T or the Sadelta/galaxy echo master plus. The other choice would be very close to those in the Texas Ranger series that are close to the older 148s and XL's . AM only CB radios ? ....hmmm ? ....more then likely the older Cobra 25s and then the Older29s ....I personally perfer the 25LTD models (early 80s) both radios will do about the same but i prefer the built in anl in the 25 to the 29s for mobile purposes. 29s anl/nbs seem to act like rf gains when used and tend to slightly distorate the in coming audio from others in my experiance , the 25s seem not to do that ? but then again it's built in ,but i surely can here the differents on the 29s as far as my mobiles are concerned over the years. You also have others that basically use the same boards PC-66a/66XL/ PC-76XL along with many more. They are all very close in performance.
