Inexpensive CB Radio recommendations?

[Skillet21]

I need advice on an inexpensive cb for my 2021 JLU please. Currently looking at uniden and midland.

Are you sure that you want a CB and not a GMRS? I haven't run with a group that used CB since about '04, but maybe the people you run with are more old school.

Ratbert, this is the reason I am asking for help. I currently carry Midland handhelds, but was advised to obtain an additional resource. Any recommendations on the GMRS?

$40 handheld easy button. There is 20% off that price right now GMRS has range that far exceeds CB handhelds by a long shot (by miles).

You don’t need to bother with external antenna or power cords. I can run 10 hrs on trail on a single battery charge and it accepts USB-C charge cords. Many other radios use a cheap o plastic cradle that requires the battery to be removed for charging. This radio you can charge while using.

Agree with @Megawatt on the radioddity GM-30, very good gmrs handheld for the price. As far as cb radio, I used a uniden 520 for years. For a no frills cb, it did it's job.
