Anyone know if this Marine CB radio will work with regualr trucker CBs? I have a handheld CB and couldnt pickup on the marine one and vice versa... But hey, it works in Canada and Internationally! And its water proof... Not residistent, cant actually be submerged to a certain extent. My fav thing is it has weather all the time! Let me know what yall think!

Well that sucks.. no wonder i cant get any reception.. so it uses a different band?
 
Yep. Without getting into too much detail marine VHF band operates around 156-162MHz, whereas CB operates around 26-27MHz. Like I said, they're completely different and are not capable of talking to each other.
 
Well at least it has weather band and works in the us, canada, and so on :)

And in most cases (very few exceptions), they are very illegal to operate unless you are in a boat, and on the water. The FCC doesn't play around, or have a sense of humor. ;)
 
I dont think they have to worry about me calling a mayday! But i can have my friends talk to me from their boat to come get me on land :)
