GME TX3200. Just about every radio store sells it. Mine does the job.

Shop around. Include Prestige Comms. ;)

Hey jas i'm looking at buying one of these they look the goods but had nothing to do with them... The GME TX3220 is a pretty good budget option although the auto squelch can be annoying depends how much you use it i guess. Pretty sure WOW has them around the same prices?

What's the best commercial radio with UHF CB channels as well, and remote head?
Do you need a licence to buy them?
