They're still out there being put to use. I'm in Ohio and most wheeling groups use them. I'll probably pick one up here soon, they seem like they'd be real handy

If you've ever watched any of my videos, all of that radio chatter you hear is over CB ...

All the clubs here still use CB.

I have one with weather radio on it too... so we end up using it quite a bit.

Awesome Mark. I was wondering if that was CB for you. I was just out in Anza last weekend with a ton of other rigs. Ok. It was really like 10 others. Only one of those had a CB and he didn't want to use it because everyone, but me, was using ham.

Well one of these days Mark when we hit a run together I will look forward to using the CB. Haha!

I attended the Jeep Jamboree earlier this month and CB's are mandatory as one of the requirements. They are great for trail running.

Our club requires a CB at min. for safety reasons. We need to communicate with people in the group about trail hazards. We run both CB and HAM, our HAM freq. is used for a working channel to communicate between the lead Jeep and tail Jeep and other HAMs in-between to keep the train moving. CB is used for chatter between everyone.
