Do you guys still use CBs or do you prefer some newer form of technology. I ask because I found my old hand-held CB radio the other night in some moving boxes. I figured WTF and put some batteries in it and turned it on. I listened for about an hour hearing zero chatter.
Back in the day. I use to hear chat on channel 19 all of the time. I even live closer to the interstate then before. I figure with cell phones and all that normal people don't use the CB any more but do the hardcore truckers still use it? Is it worth throwing back in my car? Or should I invest in one of those newer band personal "family" radios?
ETA: the newer bands are GMRS and FRS, right?
