How do they stay in business?


That's easy. Ask yourself how many CB radios are sold in a year. Now
ask yourself how many cellphones are sold in a year.

CB technology has improved drastically in recent years. Remember 9-11?
Those cell phones DIDN'T WORK because the power was off. But a CB
radio will work whether the power company is supplying power or not.
There is no "cell tower" that needs power. Just the batteries in your
unit, or a car battery. If for no other reason, everyone should have
at least one CB radio to use in case of an emergency. Cobra, and
other brands, have kept improving their models over the years and now
offer even HAND-HELD UNITS WITH "SOUND TRACKER," which eliminates 90%
of all the noise.
