Just like back in the day mate - most of the rigs today are much the same , all very similar - in that you might get 3 identical rigs re-branded in different names etc.

A generic CB these days has all of the euro fm channels as well as the uk fm freqs and can be bought for around the £40 / 50 quid mark.

You'll probably remember Ham International , Cobra , Midland - these are all still around , and still good quality , jeez - some of the rigs I used in my youth are still doing the rounds - rock solid , and good quality.

For ' freebanding ' Paul is the man to ask but my guess is any rig like the ANYTONE AT5555 / MAAS DX5000 will be more than sufficient , but if you're a CB'er from back in the 80s/90s then you'll already have a good idea what you need and want.
