    Sid,

    If you're traveling with another couple, AND only need short range communication, you can purchase these new "family" radios from like radio shack. They are very inexpensive, and close range they are much nicer than the AM of a CB radio, and generally none of the other chatter.

    More channels to chose from as well.

    I think you can pick up a pair definitely for under $100, probably less than $50, and lend one to your buddy.

    Ray

    Sid, I agree with Ray the small hand held walkie talkies work extremely well between two vehicles traveling down the highway.

    Something like one of these units, http://www.buytwowayradios.com/Produ...ay-Radios.aspx

    We only started using the Hand Held CB when Peg is walking me through the parks and getting me set up in the campground, cause we have a CB in the bus, and already had the handheld unit.
