Most people still use cbs as well if they move up to ham. I've got them in most of my rigs.

Around me we use them a lot. You do not want to be headed up the mountain and run into a logging truck headed down. So at the beginning of the road there's always a cb# and the log truck drivers will call out what mile marker they're passing.

We also use them offroading. And in the ocean, and really just to talk shit to each other when we're in a camping convoy. They're cheap and work well.

They also do still work for emergencies. We've unfortunately tested that one with a quad accident.
