let me play the devil's advocate:

question for Outdoor_Quest -

if you haven't had a need for one in the past, why would you think it would be needed in the future? who will you talk to? who would you need to contact? what would it do for you? you might wish to analyze that first.

i personally have no reason to own a CB. that's just me. OTOH, for some folks they're invaluable and useful tools. you have to decide for yourself. don't just accept a "recommendation" from a list you read on line.
