Hello Sam, welcome to the forum.
I am delighted to allocate you 26-CT-4958 may you have good luck with it.
Your request for advise on which radio to purchase would be best posted in the appropriate section of the forum.
You may wish to wait until you've started to attend your local club before making a purchase. Once you have passed your Amateur Radio exams the kind of kit required covers many more bands than the C.B. frequencies.
Best of luck! Gary.
