Anyone here running the Superstar SS 158-EDX?

Ranger SS-158EDX question.

I've heard of other truckers who use this type of radio because the CB AM (11 meter) is full of junk and too much traffic from non-truckers. Is there a freq. guide to know what freqs. are used by truckers in various parts of the country???

Thanks for all the input. Since it's illegal, I won't purchase one.

 

Using the channels other than the CB channels without a license is illegal (got that out of the way). Channel 19 is the main trucker channel, although I've heard that in the I-5 corridor it changes around because of the base stations dominating 19. There is a lot of garbage on 19 sometimes, but I've never had a problem finding another legal CB channel to have a less interrupted conversation on, like for running an oversize load with an escort.

 

I got one, sure love that thing!! My first one was quite drifty, but i'm on my second now and it is one cool radio! Only thing I wish it had is variable power, but it does fine without it. A great purchase, especially for the price! I am a SRA-158 fan, sorry for those who arent, but I run it with either that or an RK-56.

it's not like you'll be caught as long as you stay within 40 chan up or down of the regular 40, you especially will have a hard time getting caught if you never venture out of the regular 40. Just be responsible and dont run crazy amounts of power what will get you in trouble.
