After dreaming about having my own 4WD since I was a kid, I've finally gorn and dun it, and bought myself an old Landcruiser to learn in. Now I want to outfit it with a CB, but I haven't been in touch with the CB world for 25 years, since I was a teenager. Back then, everything was on 27MHz, UHF was new (and you only had 1W to play with) and SSB was the way to go. So for 4WDing to day, what's the go? UHF? Or can you still buy an SSB rig for 27MHz? I want it for emergency access more than just chatting, so range is a must. I know there are UHF repeaters in a lot of places, but what's the real story on how useful UHF is when you're in the rainforest? What are drivers using today?
