Midland 75-822 is one of the highest rated handhelds on the market, in both CB magazines as well as Amazon. However, I would caution about range, as handhelds lack the ability to carry the needed antenna length. If you can get your hands on the discontinued Maxon WTA-1 antenna, which is extendable to 42", you can extend that range. Better yet, for driving purposes, get the BNC to PL259 adaptor and use any good magnetic base antenna you want. You lose portability while connected, but stand a better chance at reaching further out when the antenna is properly tuned.
