2 Minute Tuesday: I was able to bring Tyler from My Off Road Radio back on to discuss the differences between CB and Ham Radios. This was extremely difficult to keep in less than two minutes, and I feel we could have made an entire episode on this specific topic.

CB Radios are very limited with power capping out at 4 watts. They cost the more mainly because you have to buy more equipment to use them, and they take some work to set up the antenna correctly. Don't forget, even if your antenna is set up correctly and your friends are not then there will be a horrible service.

Ham Radios have almost unlimited power, and these handhelds that we show have 4-8 watts. Which is the max to two times as much as a CB Radio. They are also very easy to set up and use, just attached the antenna and make sure they are on the same frequency then talk away. The price has also come way down in for these radios recently. You can buy these Handheld Ham Radios for $25-$30 for the basic entry-level ones and $50-$60 for the more advanced.

Don't forget you need to get your Ham Licence to use them. This is where https://myoffroadradio.com/ comes in. They have a simple easy-to-use online class to help you prepare for the test.
