• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

Welcome back to CB! There are some good people out there, but most are gangs or should I say groups of idiots TRYING to tune their radios, running a 1k Amp spewing across 5 channels and think they sound good. They don't welcome anybody new and treat you like crap. Self centered, non working welfare recipients, who come up with amps and need to feel important. I have a customer here that can not afford to fix his car, but is running a scatter box 1K amp here.

Hell, I have a fat unemployed welfare recipient here that has said he has a .380 with my name on it, because I am new and can be heard. This one I met to give him a Galaxy SSB radio because he did not have SSB. With in the hour I heard him talking on 38LSB. He took his golden screwdriver to it and screwed it up big time and said I gave him a piece of crap. A few came back and said he sounded fine on it earlier. To make a long story short , he came to my house in the night and threw the radio on the roof of my car scratching the crap out of it. He kept the mount and power cord. Told him I wanted all back and mentioned it was a fine radio until you screwed it up, then the fun began, nice thing is when he lit up and threaten me with a bullet, I called the Sheriff. He and his cronies continued on and when the Deputy was here I called him and he repeated I have a 380 with your name on it. South Carolina here, on record, castle law, I can shoot to kill.

No good deed goes unpunished.

As vicious as are the mosquitoes in South Carolina . . you could be forgiven if you mistook a .380 for a bad bite.

Pearls among swine
, the other applicable phrase.

— The whole of this thread topic is classic psy-op method to turn people off to something in an indirect manner. It’s an invalid line of inquiry.

Be of good cheer. You lanced a boil on a victim without face protection. You won’t next time.

He is an SSB operator, he is obviously better and smarter than you will ever be. If'n I were you I would take a shot from that .380 and like it. And thank him for shooting you. Maybe someday you will learn not to badmouth an SSB operator. A gosh darn bonified SSB operator!

27MHz’s CB radio now in Australia is the same as it is elsewhere in the world. Idiots wanting to fight, threaten and play interference over the air waves. I remember back in the early 80’s CB 27MHz was mostly good except for the few idiots that loved spoiling the fun for everyone. There were even a large number of females and in our area we would meet up and have great times together with BBQ’s and even some relationships had formed. Awww the old sayin, “those were the days“

I got into CB in the late 1960s and it was just like you describe now.

Painting with a broad brush doesn’t do justice to CB.

Mine’s turned on 12-14/hrs daily. A vital tool as a truck driver.

Experience is that the majority dislikes the agitators as much as can be described politely. Like having Antifa on-air (I’ll bet pictures match up based on character).

There are plenty of times during the weekdays that AM-19 is as normal as it ever was. Mobile operators aren’t the problem (with some exceptions) as Export Radio wattage (35-75W) just doesn’t dominate unless right next to them. “Some” of it gets around via Skip, but it’s pretty obvious. By topic and by S-meter reference.

If AM-19 wasn’t useful, I’d put it aside. There’s not a day passes it fails to aid my work.

Driving a truck is planning, discipline and will. They don’t get down the road with the ease of a car, determination becomes central. That extends to every aspect of the job.

Temperamental outbursts aren’t rare. Usually directed at suicidal car jockeys (who cause over 75% of all accidents with big trucks). “Tell us how you really feel, hand”, is a common response to such.

But, as with the AM-6 “Super Bowl”, it’s stays confined (with exceptions).

On other channels it comes down to what the locals will tolerate. Finding the offenders isn’t hard (search, “fox hunting”).

The day isn’t that far off men will get up off the couch to do their duty.

Till then, get a radio that scans. And become a participant. That last part I can’t emphasize enough in the way it’ll change HOW one views Citizen Band.

A base station and mobile units in the family cars. The map-plotted radius of range (landmarks number-coded). How to get home.

You’re on these pages it ain’t an accident. A little ways out ahead of the crowd:

Owning the means of communication.


There’ll be a point you won’t tolerate interference in communicating with your daughter as she navigates her way home in a storm.

Neither will other men.


Mark 9: 42

“If any of you put a stumbling block before one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better for you if a great millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea”.

Instantaneous loss of faith can occur in a dangerous moment. Flooding, fog, . . you-name-the-driving-hazard. And the verse isn’t singular-addressed. As husband & father it includes his inaction, not simply the malign acts of others.

Citizen Band . . as it’s one of your neighbors recognizes the family across his mobile and offers to guide that daughter to higher ground around the road blockages.

Private comms are fine until they aren’t.

PRCGUY, I am taking your post in jest!, Slowmover, For two days all I have heard is mud duck on 19 in SC preaching tuning a radio. Sounds like he is in my driveway but in New Mexico.
