    You're still pushing that? It's not going to happen. You could just get a Bafang hand held radio for under $100 and be able to use it for anything, including GMRS.

    The Fangs will get harder to find because of an import crackdown.. "It's not going to happen", what is happening is fewer and fewer :( Drivers are installing 27 MHz two-ways, mostly because of noise and poor performance...

    Not because noise and performance, but because nobody has anything of value to add. The only thing you'll want it for is for road reports, and most GPS these days give that. Cell phones killed the CB and mobile radio. They're not going to another radio.

    Using a Cell phone in CA while driving will get you a BIG FAT Ticket. Road reports via GPS/Cellular Apps have been WAY oversold as reliable and real time.

    What is killing CB is all the NOISE Toys. Nobody wants to hear that #### for 8 to 12 hours a day...

    My Radio with a sweet 16 still rockin,
    Will always have a CB. Still lots of places with no cell service. Have seen CB radios that have saved drivers lives when down in a ravine or off a snowy bank and hurt and couldn’t find phone Or didn’t have signal. CB radio saved that ###.
    Not sure about these new fangled radios

    the shower shoe jockeys will save their money for foot surgery, while the REAL truckers will have a cb radio, on most of the time even if the squelch is up high
