The_Kat Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 I was just curious as to who all had CB radios , or who used them and for what purpose. My dad and I use ours for travel information from other drivers while driving long distances. Truck drivers are great free info on weather, hy-pos, and other road stuff. I also use mine while hunting with friends and my radio is good enough to reach the check station so I can see how things are going. So how about any of you????

MCH Posted April 26, 2002 Report Share Posted April 26, 2002 Re: CB Radios....... Used to have one set up in my truck when I was driving back and forth to Stillwater. Eight foot whip antenna, 250 watt linear, and a Cobra station. It could reach upwards of 30 miles. A couple of my friends have home stations and most of em still have mobiles. Mine's always sitting here in case I need it. Pretorian......just thought I'd give you the heads up.....saying "good buddy" over the radio has come to be considered slang for "I'm homosexual". Thought you'd like the tip...... [ 04-26-2002, 07:16 AM: Message edited by: mccurtain ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted April 27, 2002 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2002 Re: CB Radios....... MC, I think your stretching it on the Good Buddy thing. If yer being honest then almost every trucker in America is gay Yes, they're really fun sometimes. Hey I wanna get a pretty good cb with good reception, any clues or advice?

MCH Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Re: CB Radios....... YB15, I'm not stretching it. You rarely hear a "true" trucker say "good buddy". At least not to each other. Now you might hear a bunch of amateurs hollering it out on the radio, but according to the truckers I know, they refrain from using it. And I know quite a few....you could say it runs in my family.

Strut10 Posted April 28, 2002 Report Share Posted April 28, 2002 Re: CB Radios....... Got one in both my Cherokee and the Mrs.' Gr. Cherokee..........makes long road-trips more entertaining and we also use 'em when we're hunting different locations. Some of the places we used to get in to in W. Virginia...........you want to have some means of communicating with civilization!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Re: CB Radios....... I haven't used a CB for many years...the wife and I used them, when she worked late and the roads weren't what you would call nice to drive on.

And, you get to hear people pick fights they never intend to see through. Can't beat a CB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
