Cb Radios

CB radio was once thought of as a tool made mainly for truckers and others who traverse the country on wheels for a living. They also found a home among law enforcement agents who had to be ready to receive messages at any time. Other than that, CB radios were considered outdated, or at best a tool for a hobby.However, as hurricanes and other natural disasters have taken their toll, people have come to realize that telephones (land or cell) are not always reliable. This fact has been compounded by the fact that many large phone companies are battling each other for territory instead of focusing on the needs of residents. In these cases, a CB radio can serve as an open line of communication, and it can even keep people informed of bad weather that is on the horizon.The Pierce Simpson Guardian CB radio is a 23-tube device that transmits five watts.
