Just where to buy CB radio these days with most of the retail outlets that existed during the golden days of CB have closed. Some of the independent traders still exist and if you happen to live near one then you are most fortunate.

As we buy more and more of our products online the opportunity to see and handle any item before purchase has gone away, this has given a lot of sellers the incentive to offer as much information as possible including multiple pictures and video so we can see as much of the product as possible.

Specialist vendors are increasingly running pre and post sale website, telephone and email services to deal with technical queries on radios.

The human touch

The chance to actually try a CB radio along with the valuable face to face advice on some of the finer technical details from someone who has made CB their life's work is a great help when picking a new addition to your radio collection.

So where to buy CB radio?

Having had my nearby store shut down recently I looked around for another place where I could get my gear from but unfortunately could not find any good outlets even remotely close to my home so started looking online.

Managed to find a few websites that sell what I want while also giving a few weeks money back guarantee. Never been a big fan of buying equipment online especially with stuff as complicated as CB radios, its not as if you can just turn it on a tell if all is as it should be until its has been given a good test so the guarantee is very reassuring.

Research is key

I always read reviews for what I am buying on the look out for any little problems and to also make sure that the technical specifications of the transmitter are exactly what I am looking for before pushing that final pay button.

Will always miss the chance to go and look at all the nice toys in a local shop but at least I have another place to source the kit needed for my hobby. Did have it in mind to open my own radio shop but wondered if I could ever part with any of the shiny new radios.

Buying CB radios online can be a good experience if the time is taken to identify the correct radio for your needs and find a cheap deal.
