CB radio

[ldupliss@domain.elided]

Greeting:
I know this has been covered somewhere in the past, I just can't find it.
Any how, the time has come to buy a cb.  Where does one go to purchase a
decent one (Wal-mart, Sam's, HIFI Buys, mail order???)?  Are there any
special features I should look for, is one maker better than the other, and
how much should I expect to pay?  Does anyone have any experience with
antennas which hook into the radio and cb at the same time (I've heard they
exist and like the idea of keeping my exterior clean).  I realize this type
of antenna will cut down on performance, but is there really that big of a
difference?

Thanks for any advise!
