I got rid of my old CB when I sold my Jeep Wrangler.  However, while traveling out west (Montana) last year I found my cellphone was essentially useless over much of the state (not just in valleys).  Talking to others who camp/travel a lot in the West, many of them had CB's for emergency use.
So I now have a CB installed in my Pod-hauler.  I didn't need a CB with side-band and all the bells and whistles which are available.  I bought a CB which could be plugged into a 12V power socket rather than trying to wire into a circuit.  Total cost with antenna was less than $100.

Iteach5th:  If you are serious about getting another CB radio, I have one that I will make you a deal on.  It was a spur of the moment purchase for me but like many other things, the thrill didn't last long.  I'm sure I still have all of the original items (instructions, mounting bracket and hardware, etc.) I do NOT have the original box it came in.  If you are interested, I will go out to my building tomorrow and find it and get all it's details such as model number, brand and a price for you.  It is mint condition, I only had it in the truck for a couple of weeks before packing it up in a box.

Craig has one that we have listened to while on trips.   It can get interesting esp when traffic problems present themselves.  ]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:54:33 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=13710#13710 Radio and communication : The kids in our area have resurrected... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=13709#13709 Author: Hawkeyes

I did for about 15 years, but haven't had one installed for the last 8.  It definitely saved me a few dozen times, including getting directions around bad traffic and the 20 on the latest smokey.  Terry here still uses his CB.]]> Sun, 20 Feb 2011 21:09:54 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=13707#13707 Radio and communication : Anyone still use a CB while on... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1615&PID=13705#13705 Author: Iteach5th
