I don't care if it has a 128 pill installed,when the skip is hammering your receiver at 20 dB over S-9 you may as well call it quits. Or do you think that Billy Bob on Ch.6 is going to give a damn about your plight? That is if he can stob yammering long enough to hear anyone other than himself. In the aforementioned conditions of wilderness travel, CB is NOT the answer.At all. Period. Like moleculo said, if after spending all that money outfitting your set of wheels you can't afford a decent communications system that may save your life then you really can't afford the hobby and should not have spent your last dollars getting 3/4 of the way done.Effective communications in the wilderness can be the differance between life and death. Heck, even when I go ATV'ing in territory I grew up in I always have at least two differant means of communications with me. One is a cell phone and the other is a dual band HT with an antenna rolled up and stored away just in case. I know I am always in phone range where I go but what if...........I wouldn't even consider CB because of the noise factor when skip is in and the lack of users here.
