CB Radio's & RVing
Hi all, Just want to know as I have not seen CB antennas on any trailers or class a,b,c. Is there any channels they set on? there is 40 channels and truckers stay on 19. Would like any info anyone has...

CB radios are a has been. The technology is out dated and the range and interference makes them just marginally useful. Most truckers and others on the highways do not have them anymore. Cell phones with unlimited minutes and no more "roaming" have taken their place. One poster said it helped keeping up with a spouse on the road with someone else with a CB relaying messages. If they both had cell phones that would have worked better. Want road conditions? Just dial 511 and get from the source!
Why are you and some others so against cb's? If someone wants one let them have one, we have one on our Goldwing and so does everyone we ride with. If a husband and wife want to use them what does it matter to you? And believe it or not, not everyone has a cell phone or two of them to use in two vehicles.
I also have a 2 meter radio, but I can only talk to other ham radio operators.
yep, when you are approaching a city and want to find out traffic from oncoming truckers as to which bypass to take or to go straight through you just fire up your magic smart phone and call the next trucker coming at you. oh wait, don't know their number do you?
just bought a Cobra 25 LTD classic at Love's for $69, actually $79 with $10 rebate.
