[QUOTE="MarkT, post: 108266, member: 3007"] FRS radios are definitely worse than CB's. A lot worse. One thing about a CB and 4WD is that CB's are usually the "standard" for many clubs... in fact, some off road groups [U]require[/U] you to have a CB to go on runs with them. CB's are still useful and fairly common in the off-roading community. I had decent range with my CB in my FJ Cruiser... at least 3 to 4 times the range of the handheld FRS radios... but HAM sounds like the best way to go as far as range!! One question: How do these HAM radios work at short range? I understand they are great if you are several miles apart but what if you have several vehicles traveling bumper to bumper at low speeds? Will HAM work OK under close conditions? [/QUOTE]
