I think that a CB is around the $100 mark plus the cost of the aerial, I`ll have to check into it.
Would be neat to have another one, it`s been years since I was on last.

I got several old cbs kicking around . Some Cobras,Realistics and some have the side band as well. Back in the seventies everyone had one lol. I wonder what all the truckers use now. Surely they got to be better than the old ones. I think the most they put out back then was 4 watts on AM.

I have one in the quonset also. Bought it used and never got it installed back in 1980. Antennea got stolen, but got another one. If it works I don't know. Its one way we can talk to each other if we are at events together. " I can't find you. Where are you parkedor maybe we can meet at the beer garden in ten."
One way to find each other.

I have a few cb's. We used to use them in high school, to tell each other where the cops were, and where you could aand couldnt get away with drinking lol. The vhf are much better, and last I heard they went down a little in price.
