About ready to make the move from Dixie to Washington state and will have two vehicles in our convoy. Would like to be able to communicate between the two without depending on cell phones (service is spotty along some parts of I-80). I have a CB in the truck but not in the DW's car. Anybody have experience with or suggestions about portable transceivers? (Don't need really long range, hope to stay in visual contact and if we don't, there's always the cell phone.) Many thanks for the help.
Me and my wife bought these radios to use for hunting... We use them for other things too.

Since you have a CB in your truck, You could buy this CB and install it in your DW's car.
Here's a link for the CB:
