CB Radio Etiquette to notify a driver he / she has a flat?

I started driving in '96, back in the day. That was a different age. Still driving, and got a new to me truck 3 years ago.

This new truck, didn't put a CB in it. Worked over Cobra sits in the workshop at the house. So does the Linear and the antenna. My old linear was set up to bounce off a cabover, with a 24" whip, no spring, pulled 13.5 amps. Dedicated power off the battery, it's own fuse. Course that was illegal. But I could reach out about 22 miles.

I don't need to listen to the racist, homophobic, retarded crap that happens on that bandwith. Garmin hooked to the phone routes me around accidents while they happen, 30 minutes in advance.

You guys can watch your phones right till the collision mitigation alerts you, as I take side roads.

 

I agree. It may stay squelched down, but it will be there just in case. Still run across a few of the old school drivers out there from time to time.

 

We install radios in the trucks, it is a policy. It is just like all the other safety equipment. They are not fancy radios while they may be older, they all work.

 

Man, I gave up on CB in the 90's. I'd keep it on Ch 12 when in Quebec, though.

 

About the only people on the cb running out west is the dick heada sitting in their house talking over everyone. I hardly ever turn mine on anymore. In bad weather thats about it

 

So how folks connnecting with the lot lizards?
Asking for a friend
I had guy pull along side me and window down to let me know I had a brake dragging. thanked him but I did have CB and it was on. He possibly did not

 

I know everyone has phones but the CB is a reliable way to still communicate

 

Is it still ch 19 used for road conversations? Just got a 40 ch cobra and new antennas for the 860 , not sure what to do with all them choices

 

Yes, ch19 is usually the go to channel.
