if they're 1/2 or 1/4 watt there only good for talking line of sight try and get something at least 2-5 watts to make them worthwhile

UHF so prs, even though called a CB they operate on frequency 476.425-477.400 MHz so not an AM CB.

Yes you get more coverage, but over $300 for vehicle mounted one compared to this for someone on a budget is great value, I have two handhelds in my truck as well the base unit, great for recovery or for someone who is joining for the day and wants to keep up with the banter, you can loan them one.. My hand helds are fine for about 1km on the go.
