1-4-1-4 for a copy? Anyone still use CB Radio?

RJS (undefined) posted this on Tuesday, 25th June 2013, 22:55

Curiosity got the better of me, I started remembering the CB kit I have in the loft (which used to be my older brother's, he had a HUGE ariel the size of the house on the back wall) which I had fun with as a teenager.

It broke near the end, wouldn't transmit, something I can easily fix now I'm sure.

So I googled...

Quote:
As of 8 December 2006, C.B. Radio now joins PMR446, LPD433 and SRD860 under the category of licence-free personal communications. As a result, reports have been made of a significant increase in C.B. activity across the country.
Anyone know anything about C.B. radios still? Anyone still use them?

I Googled it as well and it looks like it's probably you and a couple of truckers.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

Sorry...It`s me, I just cannot resist a fat, beer bellied sweaty man...especially if they`ve been stuck in a truck for a couple of days ;)

Used to have a Midland2001 (I think) with di-pole - that broke and resorted to a mag-mount stuck on my bedroom radiator - that displeased my Mum as it scratched all the paint off!
My first car was a Datsun 120Y and so mobile CB it was then :) Oh happy days.

I'm so over my head in this discussion, heh.

So, is there a legal limit on wattage and ariel size now it's all been deregulated?

Takes me back. In the day my most prized possessions were an Antron 99, a Cobra 148 GTL DX and a Superstar 360 with a Sadelta Echo Master Plus.
