You’d probably be better off with an FMRS radio than a CB radio. But Citizen’s Band is still out there, most truckers still use them. Drawback is range. With a real 2-meter or 440MHz radio, you have the ability to use repeaters. CB’s do not. You do need a Tech license for ham radio though, although a 8 yr. old can pass that test and many children do have their licenses!
I'll get right on that!
