Re: US vs UK.
One thing i never got my head round was why the FCC never let cb users use the fm mode and not just AM and SSB i would have thought that the overall amount of interference to other services would have been reduced by allowing that mode. 73 SORRY MISS PLACED POST SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN CB SECTION

Re: US vs UK.
It may be to do with the early CB radios being crystal controlled. Harder to frequency modulate correctly on all channels, may be??? Easier to get an uniform AM transmission with the state of the art of several decades ago??? AM was a more common mode back in the day. Early VHF transmitters were also AM.
As for SSB don't know. Better use of the 10 kHz channel spacing???
Just thinking out loud!

Re: US vs UK.
If it works why change it?!
But then with the state of technology today, CB is lagging behind.
Having said that, what's old fashioned isn't necessarily obsolete
