Where to get a CB locally?

[rammie]

I'm in the market for a CB radio, but I'd prefer to get something in a local store rather than over the internet. Im near Fort Collins, any recommendations for a shop with good service and prices? What would be a good model CB to look for? I'd basically use it primarily for wheeling/emergency needs.

If you just plan on using it for wheelin go to walmart and pick up the cobra 19 for 34.95 and then find a truck stop and get you a "lil wil" antenna made by wilson for 30.00. My buddy runs this setup on his XJ and it sounds just as good as my $300 cobra 150gtl...............Or you could come down to Camalot cb in commerce city where I go and pick up what ever you want then, Just an idea............

If you're not in a hurry, then keep an eye on Craigslist.

I just snagged a brand new Cobra 18 WX ST II for $60.

When I saw the ad, I thought it looked familiar..... Brought it home and then had to run an errand in the truck, and there was another Cobra 18 WX ST II. :twak: I have enjoyed this CB for a couple years now in the truck so I'm glad I found another one.

Walmart does have good prices on CB's. Radio Shack has several antennas usually in stock to fit your needs.

Yep picked up the Cobra 19 at wally world and an antenna at a Flying J, works good enough for trail runs.

you can always go down to Jonhnson's Corner just south of Loveland off of 25.

yeah, the little Cobra 19 isn't a bad radio. Just get a plenty good antennae. It'll be plenty for on the trail and should have just enough range to get the Forest Service if need be.

WooHoo, go Johnson's Corner.
