I loved having the CB radio in my pickup truck, and pretty much, everyone in the family had one in their vehicle, so we could all communicate when we were traveling together somewhere and in separate vehicles, or just meeting somewhere,
my favorite CB was one similar to the one in the video that the actual radio was stored elsewhere (in the trunk or under the seat in my case, since I had a pickup), and just the mike was on the dash. It had all of the controls right on the mike and was so easy to use !
The first CB radios we had were back when it was just 23 channels, but later we changed over to the new 40 channel ones and eventually to the sideband radios, because they went further.
When I was traveling for work, I often put on over 1,000 miles a week driving from town to town, and having the CB was a really good way to know what was happening in traffic or on the highway.
