When I was driving OTR, there was only one type of driver using CB radio. That was the cuckold whiner crying about his life, I hope things have improved since then.

I got in to CB radio in the late 70’s. I had a President Grant 40 channel SSB radio in my mobile (957 Porsche) with a K40 antenna. The proportion of the 48” whip on my two seater sports car made it look like a RC car. The Grant eventually became my base station (with an Astroplane antenna. That was a time when CB was a positive and humorous conversion. Unlike today’s social media. I live in an apartment, so I can’t mount my AP antenna. I still have my Grant and several CB, ham and general coverage (tube) “Boat Anchors.”

Dadgum I’m all three of these

Where i work and where i go require you to have a cb. If not, you're not going on their yard. There's a lot more than 3 types of people that use them and i thank god the ones you are talking about I'm nowhere near. From 3 am. to around 6 am its usually silent unless you have a few of the local drivers heading out at the same time. Cb's will never die out even for drivers. Every rock and sand quarry has them to talk to drivers along with metal scrap yards.

By definition, the preachers are broadcasting, not transmitting. No consequences led to no rules.

When on a road for a long ride, having someone to talk to makes the trip much better. Even people in cars/trucks get into the communication sometimes. But it sure helps the trip go by much better. I also heard the FCC might let FM used on the CB channels. I remember when I was using a base radio back in the 80s, One late night, a few of us were talking. We ended up going to a frequency and used FM. It was very pleasant. Now if that happens, we will surely see New Cobra radios with the option of using FM.

So basically people who talk about topics you don’t like are evil and taking up the airwaves, but the stories that you like to share with others are ok, not taking up the airwaves

The number 1 thing people are imprisoned for worldwide is..... Ding ding ding! CONSPIRACY, 🤣

I get to watch them from my back yard. I love living in the space coast

New probe?

Hey man, just came across your channel, good stuff! I’m planning on going with triumph, how do you like them? Do you still use them? Have you tried their fuel card? Thanks drive safe bro!

Hasn't changed in 30 years .Tell me your past and I will tell you your future. See you later Hand, keep the shiny side up and the sticky side down 10 4. Red said that.

If you would get a radio that will provide SSB you will enjoy the world of fun the rest of us have. I talk all around the world on my little stryker 955 and its barefoot. Get off 19 and join us. A ton of good people out there enjoying the heck out of there CBs. I have a HAM license but use both.

I grew up in very remote Native Alaska, at Fish camp everyone had a CB radio and used call signs, it was very locally public but due to our remoteness the airwaves were all ours! Feels like an entire different life now that i live in the modern world. I am retired now and just purchased an Older RV and YES!!!! It has a CB radio in it. I haven't used it yet but have been thinking about it and found myself here on your Vid. Looking forward to checking it out!... Do ppl still have callsigns? Mine was "DeadtillNoon" because i liked to stay up late and sleep in.

People running power are the ones who are really screwing up the “airwaves “.

Fourth kind: People waaaaay out there far from cell service, eg the North Maine Woods, still monitoring Channel 9 and hanging out on 19, assuming the weather is right so you're not hearing the Puerto Ricans from NYC with likely illegal setups that will never be taken down.

Why do you mention Ch19 in particular? Is that a popular CB band? I'm thinking of getting one, just to listen mainly.

Yes, I bought one for info on interstate traffic but realized that Google Maps gave me better information without all the foul-mouthed chatter and bickering. I tried, but gave up on it.

Idiots of KW construction

Tell us important information, where the cops are, where the women are at and what the fuel stops are like. The rest you can jam.

Back in the 70's/80's (NZ) we had 9ch on AM- 2 watts, no hi gain or directional antenna no amp no power Mike no ssb, you guy's were lucky.

Thanks

I'm a former trucker. Doing some driving in my car where it would be helpful to get traffic info. Got a magnetic antenna and fired up the old cb. Can't even get a radio check at a truck stop. How do I get info on accidents and road conditions?

You forgot about all of us that use channel 6 for talking skip channel 6,11,15 ,26,28.

If your ever in Pennsylvania, you'll see cb radio is still very present

Been into radio for a long time........ #1 obviously the truckers. #2 Unemployed Adult children on a base station in their parents house, and ofcourse swearing and thumping their chest. #3 Unemployed Adult men at home, living off their wives..........i have one in a box, ready to do an easy install if I'm gonna take a long trip. What's ridiculous about CB is how the government issued 40 channels, but everyone including truckers strike up a conversation on 19??? Nothing but inconsiderate, selfish pigs.

It's Walmart's fault. My partners and I have 24 trucks contracted on with JB, everything was OK until JB bought Walmart intermodal, so my thinking is JB tried to merge information from Walmart instead of transferring information such as with BNSF brokerage where there were zero issues.

Who is buying these $250K trucks??? Economy my ass….

Used to cb to other countries back in the early 80s. It was very exciting then.

He's doing a great job complaining about all the complainers.😮

I feel bad for you I would never drive a truck with a paccar engine they are complete junk

Alright I thanks for sharing a very valuable information, wishing you all the best HUG'S 🫂

In 2023, sales for PepsiCo (bottlers of Mountain Dew) declined, but their (PepsiCo) profits went up, thus price gouging.

This guy obviously has never been on 6 the toilet bowl, or 38 LSB

Politics is the only thing relevant enuff to talk to strangers about. Sorry dude, you are just not that interesting.

Thanks daddy

I pull a hopper bottom. A CB is still REQUIRED by a number of places i frequent.

just keep followin the carrot on the stick in front ofya nose dude....the truth cant be hidden foreva...it always comes out....

You forgot the "Skip-Shooters"...39 other channels and they just GOTTA shoot Skip on 19...nothing ground my gears more than that when I was OTR...

Thanks for that information!

It was social media in the old days

If you don't have A CB in your Rig your not a trucker, your just a steering wheel holder. To many trucker don't have them and coming speeding round a corner coming down hill into stopped traffic

I gave up on CB radio in 1977, it used to be just great 👍 but to many stupid idiots wrecked it, nowadays I work many bands, not just a few channels, thousands of channels, and if some CB type clown starts screwing up the band, it isn't long before he gets a visit from the funny little men in the black suits, and he is GONE, UNPLUGGED, and flat broke because of the fines, and it will be some ham who turned him in, I think it's great. 😂😂😂

Do truckers still use AM, or have they switched to something else.

The number one reason society has plummeted to this low level is because of people who don't care, don't have time to care, and have things to do. Granted, channel 19 is not the place for political rants and preaching. Nor is it the place for the most vile filthy mouths on the planet. We can attribute the latter to DEI. Truckers used to be closer to gentlemen. I said closer.

Greetings to all the cbers out there. CB is still alive in central Arkansas. The highway 270 radio group is on channel 35 l.s.b. y'all quit listening to the guy in this video and come up to 35 and give us a shout. Echo is clear. 73s

CB = Citizens Band not Truckers Band or Road Band. And I have not talked on or heard one since the early 70’s.

Listening for accidents and other types of problems and obstructions while driving is why I have one in my truck. I have been on CB since 1970 when I was commuting periodically between Coast Guard base Miami Beach and later Coast Guard base Key West and my family home in Manatee County FL.

I believe there it a purge valve (there is on my truck A/C anyway) you can press it down. That way you can know it’s empty and add the max amount.
