It depends on what your after, but on ebay new Midland CB's are going from £30 to £70 new with 12 months warranty at the moment. Some of the older style Cobra's etc are going for under £20 :smile:

Yeah been looking at them, not sure if to go that route or I have a friend who runs a CB Shop https://sslrelay.com/www.lamcommunic...dex.shopscript scroll down to the president Walker, hes offering it me at a reduced price as a 1 off.

Well I got my new rig to day -groovy- -groovy- -groovy- I did'nt realise how small it would be 8O So tomorrow I will hopefully get it fitted but would it be better to wire it to the battery instead of the cig lighter socket & could this help to cut out the whine i've been getting :? :? :?

Try it with the fag lighter socket first neil,it's worth a try! i have my rigs on them and get no interferance at all,system in the T2 must be supressed good.
If not take it to the battery,or take a feed of your radio!

I'll give that a try Steve, i'm wondering if the interferance was down to my old harvard playing up :roll:

Managed to get it fitted today & i'm getting no noise from it :smile: So it must have just been my old rig bless it (The Harvard 400M was my 1st rig & never let me down untill now :cry: )
A few of my mates used to have mustang rigs rbrt & they used to work well

I took a feed off the back of the fag lighter. I only use it for charging phones or the sat nav so the extra current draw from the CB is negligible compared to the cigar lighter, bit more reliable off road than a plug in jobbie and leaves it free for other stuff too.
