I was born in 82 and only got into CB because it was the cheapest/best value/simplest option available in Canada for off road coms. Since then I've gotten more interested in it in general. Its sketchy old AM signal quality and the old school aesthetic of a lot of cb units have a certain charm to them that more modern options lack.

I've been on the CB on and off since the late 1970's, I must say it brings joy to my heart to see younger adults discovering CB radios. I would love to see it take of again and become popular like it used to be. Too much hassle and drama and social media. Citizens Band (CB) the original and fun social media without all the politics.

I'm not doubting your story here, just the time line. In these last 15 years , number one ,you'd be hard pressed to find 2 drivers that have a radio and have it actually turned on. Number 2 in the last fifteen years you'd be way more likely to be ran over by two semis than have them stop to assist anyone much less a 4 wheeler.. When big trucks still had three pedals, were not solar powered as to only run in daylight and truck drivers were real truckers , those days I could picture a couple real people offering help. Nowadays , IF a trucker has a radio. IF said radio is actually turned on and IF said driver speaks and understands the English language, said dtiver is easily 10 feet tall bullet proof and knows everything about anything and ain't too scared of pulling his 64 mph truck into the path of any and every vehicle out there that can do the speed limit. Either way. Stay safe out there and watch out for the other guy because he's probably watching TV while he's driving.

As a cb/ham radio user with many "trials and errors" under my belt, the microphone velcro isn't going to hold. Potholes/bumpy roads and summer heat will make it fall. (The little amount of glue on that velcro in the summer heat will loosen up.) The rest of the install is great and I'm glad she likes her radio. It looks like the CB radio addiction has started, wait until you discover amateur/ham radios! Now you just need a base station cb in the house. (Get one with SSB so you can talk "skip" on channel 38 LSB.) I hope you two have fun with the radios!

@@sahhull Although I never use any of the radios I have amassed over the years since Citizen Band radio band was first enacted by the FCC back in late 1957, I have had them, then graduated to Ham radio in the mid 60's. I lost interest in both bands around 1987 That was because at that time CB was starting to die off in popularity and Ham antenna structures laws were being passed in urban situations banning large antenna arrays especially subdivisions. I only use GMRS walkie talkies during deer hunting season only to ask hunting partner for help in case of accident or help in tracking the game if a bad shot had been made.

I've got one of these in my van. Lots of cool features. I'm using a Wilson 500 and getting good range. Here's the deal though, it comes from the factory with the xmit power set at about 2.6 watts. I got into the service menu and raised it to about 3.9 watts, that's all it will do. I left the modulation alone. Other than that, there are no adjustments internally. There are very few traditional transistors, mostly surface mounted chips. To access the service menu, turn radio off. Hold down CB/WX, EMG, and PTT then turn the radio on. You will now be in the service menu. PL is your xmit power. PL goes from 1 to 145. 145 will get you just under 4.0 watts which is FCC legal power. I easily get 10 miles, mobile to base . Make sure you tune your antenna to the lowest possible SWR (I'm sure you already know that but your viewers may not)so your radio isn't damaged by reflected xmit power and have fun!

Awwwwws, that was sweet! That's a lot better reaction than I got from my mom when I was 17, too! She went to work and there was a 5' fiberglass antenna on a chimney strap. When she came home - after I had a friend come by during her shift that day - to find a 5' Radio Shack TV mast mounted in the Radio Shack chimney strap mount, and a full blown 18' Solarcon (Antron) A-99 on top of the house. I found myself quite grounded, basically for the rest of the summer and until I moved out the following summer when I turned 18. Thankfully I got my HAM License just after my 18th birthday and I could do anything I pretty much wanted at MY place! (Or so I thought... But that's another story!)

@@degenerals6127 Sadly, being that was 8 months ago that I wrote the above "essay", I really have no recollection as to what I was thinking about when I wrote it. I do recall that my first roommate in my first place got his HAM license quite a while after I did, but in his haste to do something to get on the air, he got with one of our mutual friends that is a HAM and LIED and said he had permission to mount a 2 meter vertical beam directly to the peak of the roof framing of our RENTAL house. That, of course, did NOT go over well with our landlord, nor my late uncle the (at the time) supposed "caretaker" of both his and my property, and I ended up get QUITE the chewing out session. So, deflecting the blame back onto that idiot roommate - where it squarely belonged anyway since I wasn't home for the atrocity - my uncle and I climbed up and removed the beam antenna and filled in the screw holes and painted over the filling. A few hours later the idiot returned, discovered his antenna quite obviously missing from its perch, and "got into it with me" about that was "his property" and I "have no right to do anything to it or move it or tamper with it..." and I reminded him that he absolutely did not have permission to do such an installation in the first place, and that in order to avoid my own self being evicted (I couldn't have cared any less for him at that point because that wasn't the first issue we'd had and wasn't going to be the last I found out soon enough) my uncle had stepped in with the landlord and said that he and I would take it down and repair any holes - which we did. Well, this bit of strife caused daily crap between he and I to the point that he actually threatened me and I threw him out quite unceremoniously and humiliated him in front of his father and several of our formerly-mutual friends (now they're MY friends only after they discovered the truth of what he was. The ones that are still alive, that is.) So, yet another lesson learned about "doing what you want because you want to" even if you think "It's my house, I do what I want." Even today, I understand that there are responsibilities and liabilities for every action. You can't just "do what you want" in EVERY situation and expect it all to turn out ok. Gee. I didn't think I was going to write this much!

I am a ham radio operator but I thought an old-school CB would be useful. I got the Commander mini from Radiology. It was around $50. It was also very small.

I have always had a Cobra Classic radios. I have never installed them into my vehicles. I only use the radio when going on long road trips. So I just simply place the radio on the floor, under the driver's seat, with the speaker facing up, after tuning it properly and setting it to channel 19. I have always used a magnetic mount K40 antenna. When I am done with my trip, I just take the radio and antenna out of the car and store them on the garage shelf for use next time I go on the road. I do this because I prefer to rent a vehicle, rather than putting all those miles on my personal vehicle. Financially it makes sense to rent a vehicle if you are planning to put over 800 miles on it.

Hi One Road. I wanted to get back with you regarding an antenna evaluation. I just got in the new K40 Magnet and I assembled it on the K40. Please advise how I can get the antenna to you for evaluation (specifically comparing it with the K30 and the Little Will). FYI, I am near the Greenback Maryville Knoxville area.

I found an old hand held CB in the garage yesterday and bought batteries for it today and I got the same response as you did and I live next to the 10. I guess cell phones are in and CB's are out. I think the new version of the CB is the cell phone with the PTT 'Push to talk.' I think it uses cell towers but there is no charge for minutes and roaming.
