Default CB Question

Anybody have any experience with using a Hand-Held CB in a car to communicate with a rider who has CB on their bike? If so, I'd like to hear about it, nd how well it worked.

we have done that. It works just fine -- the broadcast distance is about like is normal on a motorcycle -- 1/4 to 1/2 mile

You could also use the bluetooth audio headsets designed for helmets. Give the pilion one to the person in the car and have always on hands free communication.

Or if you don't both have the same brand bluetooth, why not just use the bluetooth headset to call them on their cell? Then you are not restricted to line-of-sight comms.

We used one in a chase car when we went on a trip with several bikes. Worked out great.
