CB Radio Suggestions

I still have my 1st CB radio. A Johnson 123A. Wonder if it still works, break, break, someone give me a radio check,,,ssssssssssssss

 

why do you want a CB,, I haul oversize and never turn mine on..Last time I used a CB was when I had a 23 channel Laffayette 525.

 

Most sites say CB radios do work on a line of sight, with a typical range of 5 miles( a CB was never intended to be a long distance radio) depending on the terrain. Reason you can't hear the one person, is maybe the person you can't hear is miles from the person you can hear. You could always get a "turbocharger", but watch out for "Uncle Charley".

 

But those guys that angle them forward look cooler.

 

Another vote for Cobra 29

 

what is peaked and tuned you all

 

Peaked is when power is turned up or added
Tuned is when the radio is tested and/or adjusted so that it is tuned on right freq. as opposed ti off a little making it bleed onto another channel or affecting quality of transmission
