The FRS freq radios are better, but you can't talk to the majority of
motorcyclists on air who are on factory units from Honda and Harley . One of
J&Ms engineers told me that they are probably (but i didn't hear it from
him) ;-) going to release a cb/frs unit this year.

Re: OT: CB communication and motorcycles
Well I found an old CB I had and surprise to me, it works, and borrowed
an antenna from my dad, I'll be able to test this quickly and easily...
I'll post how it's going when I find out ~D
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT... if anyone has anything else to add...
please do. ~D

Re: OT: CB communication and motorcycles
I don't know what kind of bike you have, but on our Honda GoldWing, we
used the luggage rack as a base for the antenna. I found a mirror
mount type of clamp that worked perfectly to clamp onto one of the
bars on the rack. You also need to run a ground from the rack to the
frame of the motorcycle. The groundplane effect from a motorcycle is
very small. You need all the help you can get.
