My CB has no range

Whats a stryker have to do with anything...
Big difference in an trkor car that has more metal mass vs a trk that has more plastics and fibreglass ect...Radio type has nothin to do with anything here mr know it all..
So keep on nit pickin...

 

I'm writing all this down. Groundbreaking info here.

 

Well with the big ole statement you made before with all the major info,one would think you knew this......Or you were blowin the smoke you claim im doin..

 

I'm steady learning here. Keep up the informative posts.

 

He's just mad his radio doesn't sound like yours. Don't let him get under your skin. BTW, I bumped into another Cascadia the other day with a 9 foot whip.

 

I am mad that my radio doesn’t sound like that. I’m so mad I’m just going to keep making my daily 40-70 and up to 100 mile contacts with my barefoot General Lee thinking about how angry it makes me. LOL

 

Children. You're all acting like a bunch of them. How about we act our ages and contribute research and knowledge for everyone to learn from.

I do not and will not claim to know how a cb radio works because I've only owned one for a few months now but I have programed 2 way radios for emergency and rescue personnel and businesses as well as for personal use for 25 years along with working in computer networking for 30+ years. I've dealt with both digital and analog signals.

A regular CB radio works on an analog signals. An SSB works on digital signals, from what I've read about them I am not positive but it makes sense.

Regardless of the signal type the best way I've found to describe radio waves so people both with radios and wifi networks understand them easiest is this:

Say your ghz is 2.4
That is like carrying a 2x4 across your shoulders with your arms hung over it. The wave (the board) will get obstructed by things it can't or has trouble passing through. A 2 foot long board (2.4ghz) passes through doorways quite easily. A 27 foot long board across your shoulders (channel 19 is 27.185) has a much more difficult time than a 2.4 passing through and manipulating it self to go around and find its it's way past obsticals. An obstical for a radio wave is absolutely anything in it's way including your own body.

Just like when you drop a rock in water and it forms rings, radio waves travel the same way. When the rings hit ANYTHING, some of it gets blocked, pushed together and lost and the rest of it makes it's way around the object it hit.

No matter what it is you see around you radio waves CB's use are hitting it and either bouncing off or going around it. Radio waves don't go THROUGH anything. Including plastic or fiberglass. So it doesn't matter if it's metal cars or plastic trucks.

When you add power to the signal with either a big powerful radio or an amp (linear) it adds rings to the waves so more rings are able to find their way around things they hit. Therefore the transmission (info...what you said when you keyed) is able to get to people further away.

 

LOL!

 

Those contacts are made daily when I head out on my daily deliveries. I just think it’s laughable someone would suggest being jealous of the way a radio sounds or performs.

August 8, 2018 I bought a new General Hp40w from CbRadiosPronto.
December 25 I bought a new Connex 4600 turbo from Cbradiosplus.
I recently bought a class C straight 6 pill from a friend.
I bought a 36 amp MegaWatt supply last month.
I bought a 130 amp power supply last month.

I’ve got receipts for most of these purchases. Considering that’s well over $1200 since August, I could easily buy a Fine Tune Stryker. I have a friend that runs New Mexico weekly who could get it for me. I’ve just not been impressed enough to spend the money, and if I decide I want a Stryker someday I will buy it. My 2007 superhackpack barefoot General Lee always does the job.

 

Both are analogue.
