it really just depends on your area and whats going on. With AM radios (especially 27mhz) you gotta worry about CB'ers with high power radios keying up and and walking all over your signal. But ive personally seen people having problems with the expensive radios so maybe it just comes down to luck?


Whatever you get...make sure you get a failsafe. I also try to find radios (i only use pistol grips) that have either a 70/30 or 90/10 trigger instead of the 50/50.
