10-4 partner whatcha leave behind you
green frog over and out

Ausfag, 80 UHF channels with duplex repeaters in some areas. 40 is highway channel in most areas, 38 and 39 usually for vehicle to vehicle coms with 5 for emergency.

a lot of off-road clubs make them mandatory since they're the best method of comms for multitasking

I had one in my F150 for a while, it was pretty cool but a bit boring if no one is on

>>16897309
Copy frogman. I have you 5 by 5.

>>16897316
Not as long as you aren't a total chode.

>>16897316
no don't be a faggot about it and you'll be fine

>>16897456
this, it's very useful when offroading

CB is stupid
>HF mobile rig
>not just using VHF/UHF

>>16897344
Get an antenna.

I bought one last weekend at a flea market. It's a standard amplitude modulated 40 channel CB radio in the 11 meter band. I'm an electrical engineer so I'm going to be fucking around with it as a mobile rig and a base station. I already love playing with it. I think I just found a new hobby.

>>16899906
No skip with VHF/UHF though. Which can be an advantage or a disadvantage depending upon how you use it.

hitler did nothing wrong, over.

>>16897446
U.S. is channel 9 for help, 19 is the party line.
>>16897344
Do not turn it on without an antennae, it can damage the unit.
CB's are not plug&play. They need to be tuned to the antennae/vehicle.
Higher end models have an "swr" mode for tuning- if you don't have a knob for that then you need another device to plkug in to tune the antennae.

I used to be near the Mexican border, shit sucked with beaners using linear amplifiers and stepping over 5 channels +/-
