I was just rising to NR's challenge....

I'm not an expert on CB at all. you are right that cost is very important.

Thesre's an old Midland hand portable unit that's very interesting and still comes up on e-bay from time to time. Thes sell for around GBP 50.00 for a good one with carry case, nicad holder and telescopic antennas. See a pic of a tatty version of the rig itself here

Also there are a whole host of handheld multi-format FM only devices available for around GBP 100. Just do a CB portable search on e-bay to see the diversity.

Hope this helps

Can you recommend an "entry level" (a.k.a. 'cheap') piece of kit?

Even better, see
