Let’s talk CB radios

I have no clue about them. I know the Cobra is the classic radio because my Dad was a trucker and that’s all he used.
I also heard that back in the day hotrodders had them. My dad told a story of a bunch of folks would play cat and mouse around town in their muscle cars and call people out on the CB if they were spotted. Rule was you had to keep cruising and couldn’t hide in a garage or something. Sounds like a lot of fun.
The Dukes had one in the General!
I was thinking about getting one in my 2nd Gen Cummins and/or Duster. My dad’s handle was “Holy Roller”. I would resurrect the handle for myself.

I called a couple places in the Oklahoma City area it either no answer or they only do HAM radio.

What is the power needs? Need an inverter? How far does the signal go? Can you build a portable set up to move the radio and antenna from car to truck?

Maybe someone can even answer questions I don’t even know to ask yet.
