ya back in the day you could key up and say something to some one and of coarse they would reply and you would continue on talking untill someone got off the road,,,just about everyone i keep in touch with,,,i met on the CB through the years....i see these freight haulers out there now at night and dont know how they have any friends passing the same trucks every night and no one talks,,,,and to brag my best setup was a uniden with a 240 watt kicker,,,,that thing would stretch out 40-50 miles all the time,,,,one time someone heard me talking 120 miles away,,,,miss the old days,,,bob

Yes, it is sad towards the end of my career. My run was 530 miles and I would hear absolutely nothing all the way except for a few of our drivers that still ran radios and still talked and yes, I also had a Motorola and a Midland and a president and yes, back in the day the radio was so busy sometimes you couldn’t even squeeze in to get a word in edgewise and that’s the God honest truth everybody’s gone to cell phones and XM radio

Thanks for that I actually found a couple of them myself Google search I think parts finder for some reason they all want a fortune for them. You can buy a brand new cobra in a box for about $110 if you’re looking for a CB radio in the hell of a deal I ran cobra radios for years had a galaxy for a while, but I think the cobra holds up better.
