So here we are in 2013, what do you think the state of CB is like in America? In ny opinion, it is still alive and well in many places as 2 meters and 70cm ham bands. I have been reading a lot that many truck drivers are turning more towards smartphone and tablet apps, and leaving the CB radios off, however, many still use the old school method of picking up the Mic and jabber jawing.
I have read in a few places that it is predicted that CB radio will be nearly dead in the next 10 year's as more truckers turn to smartphones and tablet apps for their info. How accurate this is, I don't know, because I don't see how you will easily be able to talk about lot lizards or get a Smokey report over a smartphone or tablet app, but I'm sure it will happen somehow, I imagine a PTT app will become the norm for them.
Your thoughts? What is the state of CB in 2013?
