A Survival Thread

[guohua]

My husband just bought a new CB for our truck, the other old one stopped working after 15 years.

 It is a Road King 4Watt unit.

You really have to be patient to contact anyone on the CB anymore, the Older truckers still listen and respond.

Yes, people need to learn the use of Ham Radios and CB's again, The Shit May Hit The Fan!

I bought 4 of those hand-held radios back in 1999 when people thought the grid was going to go down at midnight before 2000. I still have them packed away somewhere. Question is... Where?  I'm going to have to dig them out. I know I gave one to my daughter, and one to my sister. Still have two here packed up for me and hubby.

That is GREAT!
But before you use them, be sure they are tuned to your antennas.
Use the SWR that is built into the CB like the one above or purchase one or go to a Truck Stop garage.
If the CB is not tuned, you'll destroy the radio.
Now, I'll return you to my wife.
