CB radios

[Icemahn]

Do you guys carry CB radio when off roading? Is this an essential kit for rescue ?

[jellybaby]

in my own personal view yes it gives you the chance to listen to the banter of the day and give a position if your stuck even though it's likley that you wont be far away from assistance and also to follow instructions if your following a group and the most imporant bit is its fun. but every bodys view differs check out the section on I.C.E it includes good info on cb's

Generally yes, we do use CB's

When laning, they are useful for the lead vehicle to talk to the tail vehicle to advise which gates need closing or left open. Also very useful for the group leader to advise on obstacles and the preferred angle of approach.

On play days, there is often a good bit of banter, especially when someone gets stuck.

They are also useful for idle chit chat when convoying to and from events.

The Frontera Owners Group have adopted Channel 8 for general use.
