I’m looking to buy a CB Radio but is there anything I should know about them first?
I've opted for purchasing a CB Radio instead of Cell Phones to use during our trip from California to Montana in a few months.
But I don't know anything about them except you can use them to communicate with other people.
Do you have to pay a monthly fee in order to use them like you would with a cell phone?
And do they get good reception?
My credit is shot so we would have to go with Metro PCS if we bought Cell Phones and their reception isn't all that great especially in the mountains from what I hear.
What brands of CB Radios are the best and how do you use them?
Can you call AAA Roadside Assistance with one or would I have to use a phone?
Any advice on this will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I didn't know about the profanity and degenerates using them so I won't be able to go the CB route afterall.
Thank you for telling me about this.

How much range do you need? If it is car to car, your best bet would be FRS or eXRS. GMRS would also work, however, you would need to pay $85 for a license. Most FRS radios now have GMRS channels which prove confusing. Car-to-car, eXRS works about a half mile or so. eXRS is also free from interference from idiots, since there are anywhere from 1000 to 10 billion channels depending on what models you get.
CB would get you a few mile range, but it is noisy, and a lot of profanity and other degenerate behavior.
CB is best left alone… there are much better ways to communicate.
