£230 CB radio + £50 amp + £50 antenna.

That would be £50 for an illegal amp even when CB was legal.
Does anyone use CB these days

Truck drivers and RVs still do.

when you can pick-up PMR kit for nowt that works better

But dont allow you to talk to anyone who happens to be closeish.

or do you talk to yourself? (I have a couple of PMR sets in a biscuit tin
with some batteries left over from the cold war threats of EMP were
real).

And you can't talk to anyone else using them.
