Marine Radios Review

I can remember when CB Radios were a real fad in the early 60′s.  Everyone had them and spent time at night just trying to think up a cute and catchy name (or handle) for their personal use as an identifier for them when on the air.  I happened to have owned an ice cream parlor at the time and so I selected the handle “soda jerk” which was what the person behind the ice cream fountain was called.  At that time I never got into the CB part of it too much – mainly everyone just rode around and listened to everyone else talk on the radios!  It was fun – at least we thought it was fun at the time!!  Now days, CB Radios have come back into focus and are widely used by truckers, boaters, school districts, and on construction sites.  They even have been used now on search and rescue missions.  Since CB’s are so inexpensive now, a lot of folks have a set available as an item of  “fun entertainment” for the youngsters at family gatherings!  I watched my young nieces play with them a couple of weeks ago and was amazed just how much enjoyment they had by running around the building or around the yard and then talking to the other person via a hand held CB Radio.  Sure is nice we have so many great things available to us!  Happy Boater.
