I bought my first CB back in 1973 while traveling extensively on the US
roads. Channel 19, as I recall, was the first contact then upon making a
connection, shifted to some other channel. All truckers had them and it was
a piece of cake to get travel information while rolling on the tar, pedal to
the metal.

I will be on the road again between San Diego and San Bernardino, either
I-15 or I-215 and am wondering if it would be worth the money to get another
CB to learn traffic and road conditions in real-time? Or has everybody gone
cellular?

CB is great for travel on the interstate! Channle 19 is still where you
need to listen.

I don't leave home without one.

They aren't very effective outside of interstates, since you have fewer
commercial drivers.

CB radio is alive and kicking. Channel 19 is still the unofficial
trucking channel, and that's where you will hear most info about road
conditions. Don't forget that channel 9 is for emergency traffic only.
Channel 6 is popular with people who run illegal amps and can get
pretty noisy, so don't expect anyone to hear you on that channel. The
higher channels (30 and up) are popular with sidebanders (SSB), and if
you are looking for intelligent conversation then get yourself an
SSB-capable CB radio. They are a little more expensive but still a lot
cheaper than a cell phone.

I agree, plus it's still great entertainment as you travel! Just get a
good rig, one that isn't noised out by ignition. I always had great
reception with my Grant

One add on to Franks' enlightenment is to look above channel 40 and below
channel 99 with your SSB rig. It only -thins- the assholes a bit tho.

Thank you one and all... I'll probably dig up my handle from the past grave
and get it into motion again. Must one refile their application for the FCC
permit or can one still use the original even after over 20 years of
non-use? KJK9986?

Dont worry Wayne as there is no need for a permit to operate. Your call
sign is no longer a matter. Just have fun.

The licensing requirement was eliminated sometime in the 80s

That was funny.......we no longer use CB's, the entire trucking industry is
inter-connected by Nextel walkie-talkies.
BTW, what's your user ID so i can send a bear report.......ROFL
