The mobile phone makes keeping in touch simple where reception is available, but away in remote areas communication is not so simple. In some remote areas of the country and coast it's simply not possible to stay in touch with your mates via the mobile phone. I've never had a road radio until last year when I purchased a Uniden UH500SX 40 channel UHF CB radio. It is not to be confused with purpose CB radios, which are another step up. The latter type of radio has limited range and is popular when travelling in trucks, or working around the farm. The range is generally limited to seven kilometres in line sight and sometimes less in hilly areas.
