Some of the products listed are in stock and almost everything else can be ordered in time for Christmas. The CB do-it-yourselfer is easy to buy for. Connectors, batteries, solder, wire cutters and wire strippers make great stocking stuffers. Radio Shack has a butane powered soldering iron for use where power is unavailable. It's Part # 64-2182 and costs' $34.95. 1 have one and it works quite well. It doesn't get used often but it's saved me on a couple of occasions, once I was able to repair my CB while on a trip to Florida. A CB radio is a good gift for someone that travels a lot. It serves as piece of mind for a newly licensed driver and their parents. Someone with a heath condition may get quicker assistance from a passing motorist with a CB than a cellular phone. You can purchase an inexpensive reliable CB radio with cigarette lighter adapter and magnet mount antenna for less than $75.00. Beware of the cheapy radios, the mics are lucky to last the 30 day warranty period. If a radio is used as an emergency radio, chances are it will be packed away after long trips and sometimes this puts more physical wear and tear on the equipment. recommend sticking with Uniden. Their low cost radios are high quality and give good service for a long time. As for antennas, Wilson is the best but the Hustler IC100 is decent .© CBWI
