My Brother-law gave me his old VHF. It's a Vertex. All I have to do is get the antenna for it. When I get to Alberta on Tuesday I'll have a look to see what it will cost. I run BC a lot and want this up and running soon.

Run of the mill one $40, high gain $80. The high gain is worth it.

Should be law all trucks have a working CB for short distance communications. If you run state side CB is the way to go. You can get any gimmick for CB and broadcast up to 20miles. Average CB 5km. Long distance vhf lad 123 like the other guys said. A good antenna makes a difference proper wiring or you'll broadcast and receive at the level of a corroded CB. I stay on CB 19 Canada wide and states wide. I stay on lad 1 states side sometimes I pick up highway patrol or city police trying to run down a perp. Keep quiet. Some arseholes cause trouble and that trouble trickles down to truckers. Like BC and and its vhf enforcement because some yahoo s. Had to ruin it for everyone else. Becarefull who you bad mouth you might be sleeping next to them at the next truckstop they might drop a chicken finger or fries into your fuel tank. Lol.

I did a round to Alaska and back and didnt have a VHF. I did have my CB on 19 the whole way up and back, and maybe talked with 4 other trucks, tops. Next time I will have a VHF. I know the scales in the Yukon monitor either Ladd I or II (I forget which, but I think II)
Edit, I have heard more BS chatter on 19 when driving through Atlanta in 30 minutes time, than I heard in 4,000 some odd miles from Edmonton to Ak and back to Edmonton.Last edited: Dec 8, 2010
