CB usage?
Are CB radios still used frequently on the open road? Do you use one in your RV? Thanks in advance.

Humm… Back in the days two meter was best for connection to towers that repeated what you sent. You did have to know the towers “code” to get into it sometimes more often than not.
Now I have to say on two meters I maybe can still find the card that proves I talked to mobile maritime off of Massachusetts while coming back from Minneapolis MN in a car.
But back then and even now I use CB for local traffic problems. I find the language not as offensive now days.
Once… WA9NRR
Peace…

If you happen to have VHF radios these are good in caravans. Up to 5W

CB sits on the shelf in the garage nowadays. Run my 2 meter HAM radio now. Lots more range and lots more fun when stopped overnight. Download a \"repeater book\" app for the phone and/or set the unit to scan for them and no issues. Also has APRS so family can see where I am by going to a website and NOAA radio as well. So much better than the old Citizen Band.
