    I've got a CB and I'm upgrading to a ham. I've only used my CB a handful of times and in a real emergency the hams range is far superior

    Yeah also I hear the ham channels are regulated better so you're not gonna come across a bunch of shit-talkers

    Race radios, as we call them, are essentially using simplex (no tones or other nonsense that repeaters use). Using the software makes all that programing easier.

    HAM is far better. Cleaner signal with a lot more capabilities.

    My biggest complaint with the CB is that I rarely get other people while on the road. I mostly pick up the people in other states with the mega CB set ups that are just on there messing around. Also the range is nothing compared to the hams capabilities.

    I carried an extra unit and let Mike borrow it for the day.
    I also use them when we go out on quads. Comes in handy. I also use it to play FM radio since I dont have an antenna on my truck .
