I installed on several months ago.
The wife asked why?
Lots of areas we have been in have NO cell coverage.
Last month we spent 3 weeks traveling out of state.
When we were 35 miles north of Montgomery Al on I85 all traffic stopped.
The interstate was closed for more than 48 hours due to a semi that
crashed and burned.
Thanks to the CB we were kept informed and after a 3+ hour detour on
back country roads everyone was rolling again.
The CB also was used to inform everyone of a road hazard on the detour.
If you do not like the chatter, you have a squelch and most likely RF gain you can cut out distant transmissions.
