    Sam no problem, someone has to do it - there are 40 channels on the CB band that people can use.

    I thought 28 mhz was CB channels?
    Is 28.175 CB channel 19? Or was that 27.185?....Been a long time since I used a Frequency counter...lol!

    I rarely venture out of the 40 channel range anyway but do run Ohio often.

    28 MHz is where the 10 meter ham band starts.

    Ch 19 is 27.185MHz, Ch 40 is the highest frequency for CB at 27.405MHz.

    Well that won't effect me.....not saying I don't occasionally stray from the legal 40.....but never into the ham band.

    Don't know why the FCC don't give you guys more channels over here in the UK we have 80ch and all mode (AM/FM/SSB) for CB but very few users less the 20,000 users for 60,000,000 people
    i do use CB and listen to Stateside here when the skip is running but it gets very crowded and hard to pull stations out but I have spoken to a good few people over Stateside !

    Because most of these belong to other services. Such as the FBI, Military, U.S. Marshal service and many Businesses here in the U.S.
