I saw a CB radio at a thrift store for $15.
Do people still use those?
Is it worth getting (as a non truck driver)?

I used to have one as a kid... so much fun. I'd love to make a digital version that mimics the same distance-based, anonymous fun I had back then. ยท 1 year ago

jupiterbroadcasting had an episode of one of their podcasts recently that was heavy on HAM Radio (and CB got a mention) so I think Amateur Radio in general is maybe having a bit of a revival at the mo. $15 certainly sounds like a cheap way to see if it's for you. Just be sure to check local licensing requirements. ยท 1 year ago
