Could a few of these be used for a small taxi business? We would be servicing a 10-mile radius.

While CB with a decent antenna can cover that area and you can legally use it for your business, it will not be dependable under legal wattage. CBs are line-of-site only, this is why they are great for truckers. I am a licensed radio operator so I know what I am talking about. I recommend licensing a frequency with the FCC and getting business-band radios. Or you could simply just use cell phones.

Hi I think you will be fine with these radios, it works great and easy to use. Also saves last channel. do invest in longer antennas tho. Hope this helpsCheers

CB air waves are reserved for private citizens and NO COMMERCIAL traffic is allowed, by law! You may be able to squeak by the law and converse between your cabs, but advertising your service over the air is a violation!

Interesting question because I have seen cab companies in Mexico use CBs for their radio service. On occasion, you can hear them when the skip rolls in.

I wouldn't recommend these for that big of a radius. About a mile or two is the most you gonna get

10 miles might be pushing it, but most of it will depend on the type of antenna and where you locate it on the vehicle. I wouldn't recommend any antenna for what you need that is less than 4 feet tall and you should try to get that as high as possible on the vehicle. However, you may not be able to reliably reach one another on a consistent basis. Unfortunately due to the access to CB radios, you may experience a lot of congestion and could potentially spend a lot of times just trying to find a clear frequency away from other crazies out there.

They are pretty small. You can use them, but I'd recommend something a little bit bigger.

Certainly! They are very bright and can be powered by as little as a 9V battery. A small solar panel could be used to keep a rechargeable battery pack charged for remote applications.

I don't think I would try that. They seem like they might be a little light for a vehicle of that size.

Well the attachments are made for a car. Some of them very tight spots. I would think if you wanted anything smaller, you would have to use one of those mini vacuums made for electronic items. I would sugest trying it because its a very powerful little vacuum. I hope i've helped you narrow your search.

You probably could. It would work pretty well I think if you could hook them together some how.

Yes you could, but I really doubt it would have any benefit. tHEY work best in enclosed spaces that humans do not inhabit. SmALL Barns, Garages, AND Storage Buildings, are ideal.

I would think it would work just fine. Since its collapsible it wouldn't take much space in your vehicle while traveling and its not too heavy. I have been using these for years for yard waste and trash and are very happy with them.

Only if you have a location that they will fit in. They are designed for universal use.

Yes you can. We have a rather large service center, these have worked out great. Had to replace a couple of antenna's from droppage and also belt clips!!!

Don't see why not....I am using with our local services...I'm not from d US

In town stations should be fine.Stations from nearby towns/cities, 35 miles away for example are considerably weaker or non existent.

Yes, as long as the item you're towing isn't larger than a small car and not for very long distances.

I would not think so. They are small and it wouldn't be the right application for them.

I think it will be suitable and maybe in the smaller one you can put smaller things to keep them away from getting lost. I hope this answer resolves your doubts!

Could do it? Yes is it an ideal way to go ? No you need something much larger

Oh, definitely! The smaller nozzles would probably be great for this! Thanks for the idea!
