Cb Alternative

I wish that everyone used the CB as you describe, Turtle....and only so. Unfortunately, there are a lot of jerks with high output CBs, roger beep mics and such that yap all day about nonsense, pausing now and then to abuse whomever they feel superior to. I often have to turn my CB off for a few minutes until I'm away from them.

That's all well and good Conservative. But there is simply no replacement for the real-time info that can only come from a CB.

You need to to be able to hear "Hey Prime back it down, there's a crash right in front of you!".

Or "Drivers, they got the highway shut down at the 101. You may want to take Route 11 around"

No app can do that.

There really isn't all that much trash on a CB anyway. Most of the time there's just silence. It's rare that i talk at all on it. I don't keep a CB to chat. I keep it to save time and to save lives.

I join into these types of conversations, saying crazy off the wall stuff in whatever accent and "voice" comes to mind, and proceed to "chat kill" the conversation.

Yeah, I've tried some of the zello groups and was not impressed. But hey, everyone has their own preferences. I just thought I'd let you all know about it in case you'd like to check it out.
