[CB is now legal in UK but users must abide by
the regulations for frequencies, mode, power and equipment.
Since 2006 CB Radio, using FM mode was legal without a
licence being required.
This Licence "Exemption" was increased to include use
of AM and DSB/SSB signals in 2014.]


Yes,
its a Mess


[There is one unit that will
do both – meet the Uniden BearTracker 885,
a hybrid CB Radio/Police Scanner.
It is the only CB radio on the market which
also operates as a police scanner]



[Full Function CB Radio

Of course, the Uniden BearTracker 885
isn’t just a police scanner.
It is also a full-function CB radio.
You will have complete access to all 40 CB radio stations,
and it is dreadfully simple to flick between them too.
As you can probably guess, this means that
the BearTracker contains all the functionality
of your standard CB radio.

Honestly, even if you didn’t plan
to use the police scanner function,
you still have a decent CB radio here.
It offers sublime sound quality,
and it is incredibly well built.]

From a Forum:

[CB radios were already well in decline when I started driving some years ago. The invention of the cell phone struck a mortal blow to the CB, and the rise of the smart phone finally pounded the last nails into its coffin. There really isn't much of anything that a CB radio offers that I can't get just as easily with my smart phone.

In fact if I'm honest, I find CBs terribly annoying. I've had a couple co-drivers who brought their own CBs but I always turned them off during my shifts. (Not that that stopped it from shrieking weather warnings at me in the middle of the night.) I honestly don't know how drivers back in the old days could stand to listen to CB chatter, because the truth is most drivers don't have anything useful to say. I remember once my co-driver and I were sitting at a Pilot. It was a Sunday and the parking lot was very crowded and very tight. There was this other driver who was really struggling to back into a space (I think he might have been a new driver) and there were like five other drivers sitting in their trucks just trashing this poor guy over their CBs, mocking him, saying what a ****ty driver he was, etc. I had to turn the radio off before I got mad and did something I'd regret. But looking back what I should have done is jumped on the CB myself and said “Hey, how about one of you guys get off your fat ass and help guide this guy into a space, if his lack of skill bothers you so much.”]
