Thanks for the feedback. However, other off-road drivers already use CBs and currently that seems to be the norm for giving instructions between drivers on the trails. When I say off-road driving I am talking about trails where you travel around one to two miles per hour over boulders, in mud, over fallen trees, etc. We travel in caravans of about 20 Jeeps through these winding and twisting trails, so we are always in sight of each other. I have never used a hand held CB to comunicate with the other drivers but I have a new Jeep and really don't want to start attaching a whip antenna and running the wiring for an installed CB radio if a hand held would do. Anyone have any experience with hand held units?
