Depends,
I would be assuming your talking about UHF CB.

How far is the other station you would be trying to communicate with, or is it just to talk to anyone?
Price range would be great aswell.

I've got an icom ic40s with a 2.5db antenna and it's an awesome combination, probably the best out there :)
