Yes, all the truckers have them, and we offroaders absolutely must have them to communicate with one another regarding the trails, approaches etc. Mine is tweaked as far as is possible, yet my range is probably only a mile or two anymore. There was a time when any CB could easily get 6 miles. jdn

ish-- truckers neve gave them up. Since I avg over 50,000 miles per year I did not either. They are better now than ever and the prices are not bad either. Some controls are often on the mic- so I remove the radio in every new vehicle I buy and wire a cb behind there - easy wire accessability. The cb goes under a seat or in a console-- on/off and channel change (rare) from the mic.Returning from SC yesterday there was an accident that closed down the highway. I jumped off 1 exit early and took a few side roads. Lost about 10 min but saw the parking lot the highway had turned into. They were going to be there a very long time since there was a fatality. If not for a trucker parked there I would have lost a lot of time and patience.
