CB radios - Do you use one?
Wondering if a CB radio is still beneficial. Used them in the 70s, but has the cell phone made them dinosaurs?

Before we had kids we used CBs a few times for long trips with friends in different vehicles. It was fun and kept everyone awake.
We used a CB for our first year of camping, 20 years ago. We were usually traveling alone, so I would just leave it on channel 19 to listen. Our kids were under 10 years old, and I quickly stopped using the CB due to language coming over it... I don't know if I just hadn't noticed it previously, but we just stopped using it.
After cell phones became common, we haven't used one at all.
