CB Slang-How many

[Area904]

Just a note on those "out-of-band" frequencies beyond the legal 40-channels. Although there are frequencies above and below the 40 that may be assigned to government or military agencies, you will likely never hear them, as they are mostly data channels. Even if there are "voice" communications frequencies there, those agencies are forbidden by law to communicate with illegal operators in any way. They can't and won't warn you! They will however record as much information as they can of your "interference" with their frequency. Granted, it is unlikely you will ever hear anything come of it, but if you and others are a nuisance often enough, it will become a higher priority and the subject of an investigation. Don't think the technology or manpower is not there to catch you, as some uniformed souls have learned the hard way at the cost of confiscation of equipment and high fines (just so you know). All it takes is one government employee at a console with access to satelite and local communications networks, and a pretty simple and efficient computer program. Rolling on the highway is no protection!

Another note! Most channels reachable by modified CB's above the normal 40 are located between the legal CB channels and the 10 meter ham band, so when operating illegally on these upper between-band frequencies (27.415 - 27.995 MHz), you are NOT talking to hams unless they too are illegal! It is NOT ham radio, even though you often hear it refered to as such! The lower between-band frequencies (below CB) are far removed from any reachable ham radio band, and are mostly government and military frequencies.
