Good hobby? get into ham (amateur radio). It’s changed a ton since I started 44 years ago. License lapsed a decade ago but looking to get relicensed. Back in the day I spoke to the King of Jordan and many very important and famous people. CB? You get to talk 5 miles +/- Ham? Anywhere in the world :)
Uhhhhh actually you "can"... but it's not legal. Most HF radios have a mod for MARS "military affiliated radio service" which opens up the tx capabilities...
No. Cb is very useful for short range communication only and ham can be both short and long range.
Many amateur transceivers can be easily modified ("widebanded") to transmit on the CB band. While not technically legal, many people do it with no consequences. It's the same signal going to the antenna, after all - nobody would know.
