I seem to remember that among other things in the California law of banning cell phone use without hands free devices in an automobile it included use of CB radio.� In other words if you are seen by a cop holding with one hand and talking into a CB mic you can be cited. Is this really true? If it is then using a CB radio while traveling with a Vanagon in California becomes risky of getting a ticket. If they see your Vanagon Can anyone validate this? It would be in sane if it is true. This would be an example of an inappropriate application of a law that is for a good course otherwise. Can anybody validate this? Thanks.

CB 19 on a FS road is for the logging truck's manual collision avoidance
system.

I have the Cobra 75 with pretty much the same setup as Loren.� Highly
recommended.� Back it up with an FRS handheld if you don't have a ARRL
license.

WX feature and "noise reduction' are nice on the 75.

I also use a handheld CB for those excursions into the world of "no
service"� so I can tell the passenger side to start the brew up.
