Replacement CB

Looks like a good unit... Might have to consider it for my options here shortly when I look to pick up a CB setup!!

On the few off road events I've been to I was disappointed to find that no one else had radio communications available. I'm still new to the off road experience but I would have thought that as cheap as CBs are now that having a two way radio installed in a Jeep would be a common thing.

Maybe it is and it was just the individuals I was off roading with that haven't gotten around to installing the equipment, or don't see the need.

I would also think that having a CB would be basic emergency communications.

For those of you that haven't looked into it recently, you might consider getting a HAM license. It's a multiple guess test and then for 100 to 200 you can pick up a 2 meter radio. It's FM and has a much greater range than a CB. There is no noise either. You just turn up the squelch and the only time you hear anything is when someone is talking. The antenna is less than two feet long, so you really can't even see it and you certainly don't have to worry about it hitting someone in the head like you do with a CB whip.
