Hi,

I'm after a couple handheld CB-radios with the longest possible
range/distance.
Any suggestions please?

Cheers


Forget CB; go FRS or GMRS. Longer range, clearer audio, less noise,
smaller antenna, cheaper, etc, etc.

Good advice.



If he is in open country, hell yeah. If he is in the city of heavily wooded
areas, forget it. I have some of the higher power ones, and even their range in
limited in the woods. Nothing can touch them if you are within range, though.
