Just make sure its a UK spec as otherwise you'll be talking to yourself and no one else, old school US ones were made illegal in the late 70's early 80's.

You used to need a license didn't you as well? Think they scrapped that - mine's a midland with an EU button which I think is another 40 channels?

CB's are great when running in convoy, Pete B (well Aaron his lad) made great use of it when we travelled in convoy to EBI in 2009, well worth fitting IMHO :mrgreen:

My dads had 1 for about 20 years (he's a lorry driver) but gotto admit if going on a convoy with a group it would certainly be easier than using mobiles

'On the side' i seem to remeber as people holding a convo would get in a piss if you cut in without saying this phrase first.
