[QUOTE="Adam_Butler, post: 876, member: 18"] You can buy CB radios such as Galaxy Brands models: 33, 44, 77, 88 | Connex 3300 | Connex 4400 and these have upper and lower sidebands. On certain days due to the altitude of the ionosphere, you can reach out on sideband globally. The issue is learning the CB Channels and their cross-reference frequencies. On the Galaxy and Connex Brands, some CB radios do have a frequency display. However, you can get upper and lower sideband channels installed at any CB shops on just a Cobra 29 or Uniden 128 which is Uniden's counterpart of a cobra 29. The downfall to this is there is no frequency display. You will need to learn the frequency for let's say, the low side of channel 21. A new Galaxy or Connex radio can be purchased between $300-$400. You can also buy used between $150-$200. A Cobra 29 or comparable radio you can buy new for just over $100, and have the upper and lower sideband channels installed for around $50. What makes a good radio reach distance on upper and lower sideband is more about the antenna. You can purchase what is called a linear which will boost the wattage, however you must be careful hooking these up as you can blow your radio up if hooked up backwards. I've done it. :) [/QUOTE]
