CB radio is perfectly adequate for most mobiles, so why invest in another transceiver that radio communications equipment manufacturers want to...
I have not reviewed my toolbox in my truck for a long time, but I can share the new thing I recently bought on my truck - this is a stapler and...

Assuming channel 19 has nobody mid-conversation, what's the proper way to say "I'm a bored sedan driver and am looking for someone to talk to"?...
Channel 19 was "chosen" by truckers for various reasons during the mid-1970s. One reason for the choice may be as good as another depending on who...
True that UHF GMRS will not always have the reach that VHF MURS has, although assuming you are running skidoos on flat trails and frozen lakes,...
Dragon88, beware of those cheap, Chinese-made transceivers. Most of them aren't water-resistant (never mind waterproof!), so if you dropped them...
Not4hire, I assumed that cellphone use direct to your dispatcher/headquarters (not truck-to-truck) would be a quicker option than fumbling through...
Hmmm...no cellphone towers being installed in B.C.'s wilderness nor, presumably, in other remote areas in the west and north? Even Third World...
An excellent and informative reply, not4hire. Clearly, I have a lot to learn from those with the relevant experience regarding radio...
What does frequently happen is that a driver will accidently leave the CB microphone on his seat next to or underneath the cushion without...

L.B., if you are indeed a licensed ham, then you should know all about the rules concerning unauthorized transmissions on frequencies to which you...
Government and some business radio licensees have been upgraded to higher frequencies and trunking networks. Equipment manufacturers even offer...
Chalupa, you raise a very good point: why aren't frequencies available to the U.S. trucking industry similar to Canada's LAD (Logging...
For reliable line-of-sight, truck-to-truck conversations, those inexpensive low-powered M.U.R.S., GMRS, and FRS handheld transceivers are...
Certainly, human nature being what it is. However, be aware that the RCMP does sporadically monitor the LAD frequencies and will respond to any...
Listen up, guys! Anyone who believes that they can just transmit on any VHF frequency they want and start jabbering away with their buddies, well,...
Thanks for the reply. Do they require experience or are they willing to hire competent grads? Thanks again.
