Hello Steveo:

I believe any ham radio is a significant improvement over a CB radio.

Yeah Jay thanks for the references but the radio isn't for me, a friend of
mine was offered one at a good price and I was just curious if anyone had
any pros or cons about it. I'm not so sure I'm in love with the display on
those anyway. I'm not in the market for anymore radios right now, I have
too many already!

Certainly not the 2 meter CB crowd...

Hello Scott:

No I am talking about the radios not the people. I see people from both
sides of the fence I keep at arms length.

I get no end of humor when I say a "Ten-4" or "I am back out" or "Get
your knee's in the breeze" on one certain 2 meter repeater. Many have
thanked me for my informal type radio lingo. The greatest is "Ten-4 ....
over and out" it just drives em nuts.
