Re: CBs in Jeeps
A decision to drive within the confines of road law could have saved you the
$$$ of the CB, RG58 cable, PL259, and antenna.. offroaders use them to warn
each other of upcoming obstacles and for general chatter.. now, it seems to
me that CB has always been used in that way.. of course, not all obstacles
are 'bears in the air'..

Cellular coverage isn't universal in all parts of the country. If your
phone can't find a tower, it can't connect you to anyone.
Consider a half-dozen Jeeps strung out over a quarter mile of trail.
You're the last guy in the line and you find the only rock in the swamp.
You're high-centered in mud, and 20' further from the nearest tree than
your winch line will reach. How do you call your buddies for help?
