I had been looking at the Baofeng UV-5R.
I have UV-5Rs and use them on GMRS and FRS. They work great. Nobody has arrested me.
About 50% of truckers still run CBs. The air is usually dead quiet. Around cities it can be noisy.
When there is bad weather or traffic issues or I have a roadside issue, I want to communicate with the people on the road I'm on. And the best device for that is a CB radio. Extremely handy, even if you only use it once a year.
FRS/GMRS radios, especially the UV-5R variety are very handy around campsites, especially with kids or when there is no cell service. I usually pack a couple when we go into the back country. If the group needs to split or someone gets hurt you can keep track of each other. 90% of the time they stay in the pack.
