Trucking in Canada and VHF radios

WM, yup LADD 2 is monitored by scales in Yukon, mostly LADD 1 is like the CB Channel 19, but most don't just gab on it, we tend to use LADD 3 or 4 or one of the many AB/BC OPEN Channels for general visiting, and besides most of us are just too ###### "polite" to come up with the BS going through Atlanta...there's just not enough of us! LOL

 

What is Ladd 1 or 2 ? There's an open vhf band ?

 

LADD 1 to 4 and Alberta 1 to 5 are open channels.

 

Do you know the mhz?

 

I'll see if I can find it.

Cool,

I'll scan them here and see if there is any traffic.

Just curious, thanks......

Oh yeah, what do you use for equipment?

 

I have a Kenwood 760 or 780. Not sure and too lazy to go and look.

You have to have your antenna tuned too which can make a huge difference. Out of the box I could only reach out about 5 miles. After my antenna was tuned I can now reach out 55 miles on flat land.
