CITIZENS’ Band is breaking out all over with the introduction of new laws which made two-way radio legal from midnight on Sunday. Even before the midnight deadline, radio companies and stores were flooded with eager customers making sure they had their rigs.
One such company was Road Radio in Springfield Road, Horsham. One of the owners, Roger Lighter, said: “We have had a tremendous number of enquiries and we have hardly done any advertising. The response is phenomenal. We cannot get enough rigs.” On Saturday afternoon one eager customer from Horsham, an engineering consultant, paid more than £100 for a radio to be fitted in his car for work purposes and to take advantage of the new laws from the word go. All Citizens’ Band radios have 40 channels. Although good for social and business purposes, CB radio has another role. Mr Lighter said: “There is a place in Crawley being set up called REACT and they will be monitoring channel nine and will put callers in contact with the police or any emergency services.” Article: West Susex County Times |
