CB has 40 channels unless you have one like mine and it’s about 1000CB is pretty much dead unless you're on a road trip and want to listen to truckers for entertainment.
Lot more going on on CBs other than C19.
There’s guys talking cross continent, not legal, but no ones getting arrested or fined either. Pretty much a non issue.
But jeeps and other off road vehicles are getting real involved now.
As for handheld, the FRS are better for size and portability but little range. Handheld CB are as big and heavy as a brick. up side to CB is range and ability to have the same radio in a vehicle.
