    Advice on which truck to handle a Hallmark K2?

    So i guess I'll have to get two radios right? Any suggestions on which ones? I've read several threads on EP but it seems that technology is constantly changing and what was a good radio a couple of years ago has been superseded.

    Does anyone make a CB/HAM radio?

However, I am planning several trips to remote places where CB's are used by truckers (Newfoundland and Alaska) and communicating with them might be advantageous. So I'd like to buy a single...
