SSB CB Usage?
 

Do jeepers use SSB on their CB radio? I'm shopping for CB's for my
jeep. I'm not into CB as I am a ham, so I'm just wondering what
features should I be looking out for.

Hi Chris,
I hear Citizen Band above channel 35 is in your side band frequencies,
but why mess with your license, buy a fifty dollar radio.

I don't understand this part of your post. A bit vague.

Truckers don't, and the Jeepers I know don't either. If you're going to
spend money on SSB, go instead with a good "unlocked" import 10-12 meter
radio instead; I like the Galaxy 55V, and I use it in the work truck.

And before you flame me for using 10M without a licence, 99.9% of the
time, we use 13M "A" channels, slide 5 khz up/down or just use FM mode,
all very harmless activity and more or less, private. And it works FAR
better than SSB mode; you don't even have to play with the clarifier to
dial someone in.

If all you're going to do is jabber with Jeepers, a $40 AM CB radio is
fine. Spend the extra bucks on a good antenna intead of SSB.
