Cant go wrong with a Uniden hand held. They got the lil mini ones at Dick Smith for about 50 bucks last time i checked. The only shit thing with those ones is that you dont have the option of plugging in an external mic. The next size/model up from these are pretty good, but i think they're nearly double the price.

IF your looking for them

Aim for ones with 1watt--> 2watt

Otherwise you'll find as soon as you get into twisty areas, you wont be able to even pickup a car 300-400 meters infront of you.

If memory serves me correcy my CB is 1.5 watt

And as Age said, rechargeable batteries are a must. I made the mistake years ago of not doing it.

And after a few cruises you need batteries as they dont seem to last all that long

haha....

2 watts "quad power".

sounds scary.

It would be handy if they had the insight to make the antennas on the handhelds removable so that a decent antenna could be hooked up without having to mangle the radio to do it.

    • Can't see that being a thing.
    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
