Re: CB Channel Consensus
The GMRS/FRS radios offer a clearer signal and less static and NO skip than
CB.
CB has been popular for 30+ years now (and been around long before that) and
everyone is familiar with it. If the CB'ers were to try GMRS/FRS they would
be amazed at the difference.
But what it really comes down to is what is everyone else using? If you
have both bring both.
I have access to both and foolishly brought neither last time.

Re: CB Channel Consensus
The channel you use depends on local custom and the chanel your friends
listen to. Lurking on 19 is fine if there is a traffic jam, but other than
that, the CB isn't very useful while you are not actively engaged in the
sport of Jeeping.

Re: CB Channel Consensus
there's also some function of which channel to use depending on your route
of travel.
I remember something of this....not what it is exactly.
But say if you're traveling East/West you'd use ch24 and if you were
traveling North/South you'd use ch12.
