Jerry Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've got a pair old amateur CB radios in the cupboard I thought I might chuck in my vehicles but no one seems to sell gear for them I anywhere! Are they technically obsolete now? That seems to be what people say when I mention CB's. What do truckers use these days? Mine are about 20 yrs old, but they still work fine.

Oizarod115 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 truckers use them still also when you're wheeling with your buddies communicating on the trail and on the ride to and from the trail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpdocdave Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 they are definitely not obsolete. i consider them mandatory trail equipment, i won't wheel with someone that doesn't have a cb, you gotta communicate on the trail. they're also great in the tow vehicle, so you can keep in contact with the whole convoy at one time if you have a group towing their rigs down. cell phones have replaced them a lot, but a cell phone isn't gonna give you open free contact back and forth with your whole group at once.

1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Keep them, they will come in handy on the trail. That is if, you don't roam alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
