As a tech,if you had 300.00 to spend on a radio, and you use the radio 50% ssb and 50% cb which radio would you get.300.00 includes mods.

I would like to add the Magnum Delta Force.
Also the Magnum A-24, and the General Lee/Connex 3300HP if you don't care for SSB.
If you do the General Longstreet but I read they were discontinued but they can still be found.

GO FOR THE RCI 2950DX. I HAVE ONE AS I SAID A HUNDRED TIMES AND LOVE THE RADIO. GOOD RECIVE AND TRANSMIT IS UN-REAL. GOOD FOR THE PRICE AND MINE WORKS WELL WITH MY TUBE AMP.. IF YOU ARE GOING TO GET ONE GO WITH THE 11-METER TUNE-UP...

Get the Omega Force!!!!!!! 1 watt swing to 40 watts is too cool in my book!!!! Plus the price isnt too bad either..

If you didn't like a Lincoln or a 2950DX , I wouldn't know what to recommend?
They are two of the best radios in their class!
