Re: CBs in Jeeps
CB = Good communication on large group / club rides, and possible able to
help in an emergency. Anyone can use one openly ( both a good and bad thing ) CELL PHONE = Good an ordering pizza as long as you are not in the boonies. Most places in Utah I wheel have very limited coverage, and the cell phone is useless. It is too easy to get out of range to be used as a back country emergency device FRS = (Family Radio Service, like those Motorola hand held radios) We use this often for family communication. Easy to just loan to someone in the other jeep, or take with you on a hike. Ok for lightweight communication, ~2 mile range on open land, but drop into a slick rock hole and them may not work 100 yards. HAM RADIO = What I trust in my own jeep for emergency communication. Requires a FCC license. I can easily have a crisp conversation over 100 miles away, and often talk 200 miles on a simply 2 meter radio. Repeaters are common all over the country, and those will send your signal much father and are common frequencies where other users and trained emergency personnel can listen. Excellent for emergency communication, and communication with other hams. Also non-licensed people can use the radio under supervision of a licensed ham. Also important to know that in case of true emergency anyone can use a ham radio to get assistance. <ABanks5@columbus.rr.com> wrote in message news:yyJvb.29688$kL2.16321@fe3.columbus.rr.com... > Okay this should start a flame, but why the hell do people put CBs in > Jeeps?!?!

Re: CBs in Jeeps
>HAM RADIO = <snip> non-licensed people can use the radio under supervision of
a licensed ham. Not exactly. A non-licensed third party is permitted to participate in a transmission made for that third party if under the immediate supervision and control of the Control Operator for that station, not just any licensed ham. [FCC rule 97.115] Also important to know that in case of true emergency >anyone can use a ham radio to get assistance. Also, not exactly. The rules permit a non-licensed person to transmit on a ham station in an emergency situation invilving the immediate safety of human life and protection of property, but only if normal communications systems are not available (i.e., phone, cell phone, CB, etc.). [FCC Rules 97.401-407.] Moral: Get a Ham license. Its not that hard, and a Ham radio is far more effective for obtaining emergency assistance in remote areas than either a CB or a cell phone.
