    CB or Citizens Band Radio (You know the thing that was in smokey and the bandit and other films).
    Well - Its on the way back, in fact it never left but had went a bit quite for a good few years. A lot of other counties have now got active talk on cb's.
    And Tralee, Kenmare and Killarney are really picking up mainly due to a new supplier in Tralee. Anyone looking to get back into it or start fresh can log on to.

    Some people are taking "going back to the 80s" a step too far (or was it the 70s?). :P

    :D Well, maybe thats part of it but the big reason it's coming back is because of the new systems and compact/modern CB's that are out there now.
    Things have changed a lot and comreg have made things clearer now so theres no problem as regard legal issues.
    Anyone here used ne on them before and interested in getting back?

    Well for a boat it can be used but you should also have a marine radio just in case you need coastguard assistance.
    For mountain areas CB radio is actually a great option as it is self powered, By that i mean it does not rely on having a signal coming in. Unlike a mobile phone which is often useless in near mountains.
    You can get handheld CB also but there not as good, Getting better though.
    Such as the intek h520 - see link
