Is Cb Radio Dead
I just bought a cb for my truck and was amazed whith 40 channels of nothing i've not gone anywhere yet but i was amazed with how quiet it is.
i had one many years ago and it was like a nightclub i hear the odd person and that is it .
is my rig faulty or is this the norm these days
thanks
mark

Re: Is Cb Radio Dead
CB radios have had their day I think, computers will go the same way in a few years when something new comes out.

Re: Is Cb Radio Dead
And the mobile phone, of course - did they take the UHF band away for that?
http://www.4x4cb.com/public/showpage...w.cfm?Page=643
Interesting... but no progress - though the withdrawal of UK-only channel allocations would seem to be logical.
Not found any references to CB934 (the UHF band) - with the low usage and higher equipment costs, I belive the only popularity it enjoyed was as a form of "open PMR".
The final thing to note would be the licence-exempt PMR446 band
