LADD 4 is also used ( 173.37 ) but not very much, most people don't have it programmed but it sure comes in handy when you want a quieter work channel

Very good answer CJ1, good first post. Most (all) of us in BC AB don't even have CBs, my company removes them from the new trucks. The new Petes just show up with them, I'm sure they aren't ordered. Maybe just for the drive up here from Texas?

How do you get a VHF Radio License? I have been to the Industry Canada's website and I couldn't find it. What if I enter Canada with frequencies programed into my radio that are legal in the United States? Am I OK as long as I don't transmit on them while in Canada?

I called industry Canada a few years ago to inquire about getting licenced and they said that they don't issue to non Canadians (Americans).... so essentialy they saved me some money and I still run the Alcan with my ..***COUGH***

For all you VHF users, what brand and model antennas are you using and where do you have them located? What kind of range are you getting?
-
terrylamar Thanks this.

actually it does matter. ive run 3 different brands with the same radio and so far the best was a pc tel it has a 2.4 gain and noticed about a 5 mile increase plus much more clear signal not to mention recieving is better too.
terrylamar Thanks this. -
Will applying aluminum or copper tape across the inside of your roof help like it does with a CB?
