Request for radio recommendation

[SCPD]

From OP: The idea of listening to CB got me intrigued, so I figure I'll wait until I can afford more than $40 or so for a nice radio. I should learn more about them as well.

CB is AM mode but does use SSB as well. So be sure to get a radio with SSB. It'll be worth the extra cost. You might want to take a look at this unit when it comes out: http://universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/0905.html
