CB is good for two things; monitoring the Ch 19 truckers while you're on the road, or a club channel if you're wheeling. Otherwise, forget the channel scan. We're at the bottom of the sunspot cycle which means you won't have to deal with a lot of skip most of the time. In a few years, when the sunspots come back, CB will be practically worthless again. If you're fortunate enough to be in an area where the ham repeaters are active, VHF/UHF ham radio is a better option for conversations, but up here I can drive for 300 miles and seldom hear any activity. HF mobile is an alternative if you want to go to the work to get the proper license and the cost and technical issues involved in a good mobile installation. I had an Icom 7100 installed in my JK, but the 100W RF was always getting into the ECU and causing all kinds of problems so I took it out and put it up at our cabin. I was too lazy to do the grounding and remounting the antenna away from the rear window electrics to make to work properly. Still have the CB and a VHF/UHF rig for around town use.

I'm not even gonna bother with a CB in current JKU will probably just use VHF/UHF.

The cb is still used around here, mostly log trucks, but that's most of the trucks around here anyway

Maybe you'd like to edit your big advertisement out of your posts and stick around to add some value to the forum that is not focused on your business.

Dang Mr. Bozo, that's cruel. The interwebs can be a rough place.
I went back and listened to more of your cool sound effects. Thanks for those and best to you
