    Does anybody know the difference between UHF/VHF radios, CBs and HAM radios? Is there any crossover or are they all different?

    Yes, get a hand held unit with the comm's cable on Amazon for $35.00 and take the test. The radio will not self implode if you dont have a cert. Many people use Hams without a cert... I am in no way condoning illicit use. Just letting ya'll know whats better...The HAM's are the much better then CB, even a small handheld $35.00 unit.

    I did just read that you can listen without certification but not supposed to transmit. How would they even find you?? HAM dudes seem all serious about they radio waves.

    How hard is the test? Haha. I like the idea of ham having better signal and I don't need to install a crazy cb antenna.

    I know nothing...

    I guess I've got to start this very soon....
    This all is dependent upon your intended use. But HAMs when used correctly are much clearer and can be used to isolate a channel for a particular group... Like all of use going out together on a trip.

    Ham with at least a UHF of 400-520 would suffice.
