can I use this as a normal CB for recreational activity like hiking, ATV, walking, etc .... ?

You must check if the legal aspects of using marine rado frequency at land. As far as I know it's not allowed.
771527
No, this is a marine radio and the frequencies it uses are reserved by the FCC for mariners.

It is a federal offense to use a VHF Marine radio while on land. In fact if you step off your boat and onto a pier it is illegal to transmit.The FCC and the US Coast Guard monitors many of these frequencies. The penalties are very severe and can include jail time.

You can ONLY use the Standard Horizon for on-water activities. Using a VHF as a CB or for hiking/walking/etc. could land you a big fine or worse.

This is not a CB, CB is in the 11m band these radios are in the 2m and 70cm band and only licensed Amateur radio operators are allowed to transmit on these frequencies. This radio is not for public use. Not even legal to use on FRS frequencies.

I weigh about 180lbs and will go about 10 miles at full speed on mostly flat terrain. I have thought about a spare battery, but have not found a good way to carry one with me.... I could imagine if I commuted to work or somewhere regularly keeping a spare battery to switch out.

Yes to all these questions. You may have to add connectors to the cable and I can assure you that in any weather that is good enough for you to go out in a canoe, that motor will take you where you need to go and pretty fast - faster than you could paddle there.

Yes you can easily hook it up to a CB. I had this in my Jeep and it worked great till it got wet several times and started drawing power while the vehicle was off. But quick answer is yes you can as long as you have a PA option on your CB.

it is a very weak front wheel drive powered unit so getting around on any terrain other than concrete is not really an option, but for general use on even pavement and a fairly light person this would work

Yes you can. They are much better because they are 5 watt radios. Rule of thumb is 1/2 a mile per watt with UHF radios. all depends in terrain as well. well worth the money

Fairly well,depending on the terrain. It doesn't climb hills and doesn't have brakes. Buy an extra battery and carry it along, when the first battery runs out then switch so you can avoid pushing it back home.

Probably, if your CB has a 'bnc' connector on the back, rather that a 'uhf' connector. In that case, it might require an adapter.

It does not look sturdy enough to drive far or at any speed! But I would be willing to drive with mine up around the campground. Just keep the speed around 10 MPH and if you have it on tight it should be good!

Yes. Get the good ones, don't go cheap. I used my cam on a ball head on my quad and filmed my ATV trips. Go to youtube and put in HANDICAPPED SENIOR ATVs and you can see a couple of the uploads. The others are with a Gopro.

As commented, this stroller does well in different environments but is primarily designed for casual use. We would normally recommend our BOB strollers with more suspension for rugged terrain.

Don't think so, I think it would be okay for the occasional dirt/gravel you just need to cross but on an actual trail? Might be a challenge with the tires being slim with less contact on the ground. Haven't actually tried it hardcore on a trail mind you.

Yes. Just put in batteries and it will power-up and you can start hiking. You may have to play with it while you are hiking to figure out how it works, what screens do what. Follow your path on your Current Track map, make sure tracking is ON if you want a track. Reset trip log before you start to calculate length of each hike.

Possibly. Depennds on why you want it. It's pretty big and I wouldn't want to go on long walks with it.

Not likely that far regularly. Handheld units, mabe more like 1-3 miles. Transmitting power is limited by the FCC, I think only about 4 watts. Since the transmitting power is limited, a license is not required to operate a CB radio.

This is ham radio not CB. You need a license as do others that use ham equipment.
