It really depends on the antenna you use, its height above average terrain, the time of day, whether you're using sideband or AM, man-made and natural interference, and whether you're using ground waves, line of sight, or propagation. If you have a fat wallet and lots of property at the top of a hill, you can do quite a bit with range. Average users on mobile AM, eh, 5 miles or so. a few more miles at night maybe. They're about $40 at the discounts stores, about $160 for a good sideband rig at the truck stops.
Typically a cb can reach 2 - 5 miles, but can reach up to 20 to 25 miles depending on the terrain. Depending on where you go and the brand you buy, expect to pay between $25 to $65. You probably can get a used one on ebay or Craigslist.How far can a CB radio reach?
