Cb question

Almost every time I pass someone I see them reaching to turn the volume down on there cb I believe mines not showing its transmitting any ideas?

 

Do you think it is transmitting on its own?
Do you receive other drivers?

 

maybe they just don't want to talk to you?

 

Some can pickup people further than you...

 

Do you have your inverter on?
Sometimes a truck will pass me and it makes static on my CB, so I turn the squelch up..

 

You can actually see them turning the volume down? Are you sure they're not just making an adjustment? Maybe turning it up in case you give them a shout?

 

Squelch is my vote.

 

Agreed Wait till you're in a rest area ask for a radio check and then there 20. And please keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on the road while you're passing me. I like my mirrors where they are.

 

I always do my checks either when I get parked, or if I get stuck in a parking lot on the freeway lol. Depending on your radio and antenna setup determines how far out you can get and how you are sounding to other drivers. It also helps if they are running with a radio and if they even have it on.
