FWIW, handheld cb s do work.
They work better if you can use an external antenna with them such as a magnetic antenna mounted to the right side of the cowling.

Only way to be effective with a handheld is to use it with an external antenna.

I have a hard mount unit in each of my jeeps but I also just picked up an hand held unit. It was on close out for $29. I still need to check the range and compare it to my other CB's, but for the price it should be worth it.
