Ok, so I'm here on CB radio forum. Never thought I would but here I am.
When "Smokey and the Bandit" came out, I put a CB in my car. Don't judge, I was high school LOL. I thought they died a long time ago but apparently they didn't.
So why am I here? A few reason:
There are certainly other (possibly better) radio options for each scenario. I may add some of those to my arsenal down the road, but getting a CB seems like a good start.
- I drive a lot for my business and there are still plenty of areas without mobile coverage in case of emergencies
- I'm involved with the scouts and I think it could be useful tool for us when we're off grid
- Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, I've learned how vulnerable our modern communication can be.
So I'm here to refresh and get some ideas.
- Inexpensive
- Easy to use/no license
- Most common of the types used. Communicating in an emergency is only works if you can find someone else at the other end
