Hi All. I am not very knowledgeable about CBs, and I do have a pretty decent GMRS in my Van to communiacte with friends on road trips.

I want to get a CB to listen to truckers on road trips, and I was thinking of Midland 75-822 and a good-quality antenna mounted on the roof of my van. Good idea**?** Or any other suggestions? (I do prefer portable, but I will get a mounted one if it's really the best route to go)

I don't want anything to be complicated**, and** something easy to use. 

I was thinking about this combo: 

1. Midland 75-822 Handheld CB Radio & Mobile CB Radio and 
2. Midland - MXTA26 MicroMobile 1.5 inch Base Diameter 6DB Gain Whip Antenna with NMO Great for Off-roaders, overlanders, Farmers - Max Power120W Boost Signal Output - 5/8 Wave - 32” Antenna and

I am not very knowledgeable about Walther's, but I am thinking of buying a Walther PPK (Bond theme preferably) as a collector, and I was wondering which model I should look for without spending a fortune? For info, I am in California, but I have an FFL and a COE (which means I can buy firearms (over 50 years old) directly, including from out-of-state, and skip the traditional dealer transfer process (DROS) within California).
