AM is now clean again, all the button pushers have moved to UHF :) . Still use both, perfect for cheap comms in convoy.

i pulled my AM out waste of space etc, uhf is a much better system, and with my 50watt uhf in car i can blast over all the shit if need be, also got a few extra Priv channels programmed into it so i can talk to mates that also have programbale radios, works great for when the shit gets to thick on the public chans

Still use both. CB is still handy for log trucks and bush crews. CB has better range in dense bush then UHF..
