Yes, they haven't changed much either. Although I suppose there's not much reason to change much. I was a kid when the CB craze hit in the 70's and my father had one in all of our cars. My grandfather even had one in his Lincoln. The only reason I know they're still available is because I buy them for our larger delivery trucks. They do come in handy for traffic reports and weigh station openings.

I used to listen to the chatter when I was traveling late at night for entertainment and speed trap warnings. Until I had kids.
