Although I haven't kept up on the technology...
One brand/model that usually gets recommended on the Miata list,
the remote mount Cobra 75 WXST (with weather channels) - price
ranges from around $90 to $160 depending on where you shop on
line.
The CM is a small box mounted remotely (like in the trunk) and a
plug in hand unit. All the controls, displays, microphone, and
speaker are in the hand unit. You can also buy additional remote
boxes for around $30 and move the hand unit from car to car...
Three on line sources (in order of increasing price) are:

I still have my 21 channel CB from the "pre-convoy" days (sitting
in a box in the garage along with an 8-track). One of these days
I going to get one of these remote mount units to install in my truck
for long trips...
