CB Radio over the Internet?

[TheSpaceMan]

Are there any internet CB radio programs still operational, where you can talk over the internet just like on CB? I think the LiveCBradio program is no longer running.

[W8RMH]

Maybe something like Zello.

Hello Space Man: You just have to look around, I am sure there out there. Maybe some clubs have it hooked up.

I know some of the incredo high power ham guys use the internet receivers on the east coast, to hear the Europe Stations from the west coast.

We use to have a local 220 to 2 meter repeater that, that was switched on to repeat some of the local CB stations, for fun. Everybody liked that. Lots of fun. Most everybody monitored these frequencies, and a lot guys got their ham Lic over this.

Wow, I'm surprised they got away with that.

Not CB on 2 m or 220. I certainly hope not. Wouldn't be legal and I would hope the controller of the repeater would shut it off faster than a light switch. Every thing is so wrong about that. Yeck.

Hello Spaceman: You would have to find a HF Reciver on the internet and dial in the frequency you would want to list to and monitor.

Online Receivers - Internet and Radio: Online Receivers

Give that a try. Happy hunting. Or have someone put it on the net, they are probably around.

Thanks. I'm actually looking for an internet CB program where you can both receive and transmit, similar to HamSphere.

[robertmac]

Or some other VOIP.

[W5JER]

Teamspeak
Mumble
Ventrilo

Just to name a few.

There used to be this one but the program he was using for it shut down so he was left with no way to do it (voiperized is what he used)

www.livecbradio.com

[728CableDonkey]

Livecbradio is still online but the guy put 2 of his feeds on that awful channel 6 noise. I don't get why he did that at all.

[robertmac]

Because it is the "crazy" band. Junk in equals junk out!

Don't they have a program like that for amateur radio operators?

[DarkStarPDX]

Title 47 § 95.419 (CB Rule 19) May I operate my CB station transmitter by remote control?

(a) You may not operate a CB station transmitter by radio remote control.

(b) You may operate a CB transmitter by wireline remote control if you obtain specific approval in writing from the FCC. To obtain FCC approval, you must show why you need to operate your station by wireline remote control. If you receive FCC approval, you must keep the approval as part of your station records. See CB Rule 27, § 95.427.

(c) Remote control means operation of a CB transmitter from any place other than the location of the CB transmitter. Direct mechanical control or direct electrical control by wire from some point on the same premises, craft or vehicle as the CB transmitter is not considered remote control.

Yes, I tried HamSphere and it is pretty cool! I heard that there were some others that simulated CB.

[robertmac]

hamsphere isn't radio, should be removed from title. It is internet voip.
