36% of our store visitors don't have CB Radios?!?

My radio is "pumped" up to an extreme 7 watts.

I have always had good success with a stock setup with a well tuned antenna and nicely laid coax... Alot of my buddies do't have them but I love wheeling with a CB. I don't chat on them much but it's great for spotting, directions or telling the jeep guys which parts just fell off their undercairrage etc. I really enjoy them on wheeling road trips too.

With all the social media going on and electronic devises attached to everyone's heads I think we should all push the CB back into exsistance. It's simple and quick and an old Toyota with a CB if cheaper than most peoples smart phones these days. I mean what's really easier and more convenient, keying a mic or texting while driving? And with a CB you don't have a monthly bill.

We all gotta stick it to the man!

I have 2 2-ways, a very nicely tweaked 40 ch. Uniden CB with 40 upper & 40 lower side bands and a programmable Yaesu 10 meter.

Also have a couple CB 40 channel walkie talkie's.

I've got a stock 4 watt Uniden 520XL CB. It works, but I would love to have a pumped up one. Maybe 10 watts, nothing crazy. I'd love to get HAM radio for a back up emergency radio, but you need a lic to own one.

The license is easy and there are practice tests online
