For the upcoming wheeling season I have ordered a Midland 75-822 CB which is portable (and vehicle based radio) - the hand held feature is what I want it for spotting and keeping track of the CB banter when out of the truck taking pictures. The last run I was on - I missed all the action, because I out of the truck and did not hear someone up front flopped into a big hole.
The reports are the 'rubber ducky' aerial is limited to about 1 mile, but that is within the range I would mostly be using it. There is also an optional 27" telescopic aerial (Cobra) that extends that range, available at radio shack (folds to 8").
Maybe next year for the Ham license.
