Howdy gang, I'm looking for advice on where to find some used CB gear that's still in good nick. My first car in over a decade and there are plenty of long road trips in the works.

Specifically, I'm looking for a Cobra (75?) the one with controls on the handset that comes with a PA function.

I also need a small but powerful PA horn / PA speaker solution to fit under a hood with very limited real estate - a two door hatchback. Question: Will a PA work through the trumpets of a train horn?

Greetings y'all. HEADLINE: Big city guy in great public transit town gets first car in 17 years.

Looking for best mobile auto radio setup option for long car rides and in case of emergencies (ham radio not an option today). I need help choosing between CB, FRS, GMRS, MURS or another option i do not know of.

I realize the value of a mesh network device and I am getting set to build 4 of my own. Any advice on this is most welcome. *Also - will Mesh Network device get me what I need on long car trips and emergency situations?*

Also needed is some sort of PA system so I can keep up a Mic and can speak through a speaker outside the car. No siren, no noises and sound effects, just a Mic and a PA set up, hopefully built into the system may is best recommended for my needs.

Last thing- is there a question that I should be asking that I don't know to ask?

Thanks for reading everyone and thanks in advance for your input 🤜🏼
