I dont like some of the old "Emergency CB's" that are sold in little plastic cases. They are neither a good handheld CB or good mobile and try to be both.
The midland referenced here is nice. The little rubber duck antennas are going to make them VERY short range but they will work. They also eat batteries so have a good supply. For range the older telescopic antenna models from the 70/80 were good but the antennas wouldn't survive much abuse.
If you talking under a mile communications and handheld CB can be usable, but beyond that forget, at least for reliable communications.
