My thoughts are that it doesn't do any good to have high wattage antennas unless you also have high wattage radios and/or amplifiers to need them....
A CB radio is still the best tool for communicating local information on the highway. Ham equipment is not useful to a trucker for that purpose....
Your attitude is inspiring Craig! I had a cancer operation Halloween Day, 2016, metastasized. Had radiation. Still watching. Still waiting. So...
That's a good point. But nothing is so bad that getting even worse isn't actually worse. In any case, the die is now cast. We have crossed the...
I agree. It might be a mess for a while if AM and FM are competing for the same small space. Yin v Yang.
I don't think the FCC has finalized the proposal yet. But it should be coming soon, as will the new FM equipment for CB.
Why would a trucker invest in new GMRS equipment when there's no trucker traffic on the band?
Radio manufacturers want to increase interest and activity in radio products, and all of them can make radios in any frequency and any mode with...
Wow. That's a report card I'd be proud to bring home to Momma.
It will be interesting to hear what happens when the AM and the FM crowds compete on the same channel. Tower of Babble babble?
Yeah, the 203P can handle a legal 4W transmission, but many highly experienced folks have indicated that the amp runs hotter at that level. The...
Yeah, ole Ridgeline is a stickler for using the precise definition of such terms as "counterpoise." Such terms and their definitions probably...
Yeah, whenever I look over used stuff I feel like I'm looking for a wife at Bunny's Hop House in Nevada.
That's a good question. The new rule approves 2KHZ width for the new CB FM radios, and I've seen many current exports producing 5KHZ. Those...
Looks like the FCC did it yesterday: permit CB Radio Service transmitters to transmit FM voice emissions along with AM. It's to go into effect 30...
Yep, the attorneys love those victim/clients. Who knew that magnets don't stick to nonferrous metals, or that hot coffee shouldn't be gulped...
$$$$$ I believe it's the radio manufacturers mostly pushing FM. $$$$$ And a few bored radio enthusiasts looking for something new. They're good...
The AM v FM debate: it's what you ain't got that you want. But both are good: Get 30 mile range with SSB - now Legal!
Double post. Sorry about that.
This is hilarious. It's hard to imagine that a person placing a mag-mount antenna on an aluminum roof wouldn't immediately realize that the lack...
